dark chocolate 3(5) = 15

Answer 2

20 milk chocolates

Explanation:

The first step is adding together 4 + 3. You will get 7. This is the total number of units in the box.

Then, divide 35 by 7. You will get 5 as the answer.

To find the number of milk chocolates, multiply 5 and 4. You will get 20 as the answer.
