Answer 1

Answer: 20 boxes of chocolates

Explanation:

First find out the total number of chocolates he has:

= 25 boxes * 24 chocolates per box

= 600 pieces of chocolate

The number of boxes needed if the chocolates are packed 30 in a box is:

= Total number of chocolates / Number of chocolates per box

= 600 / 30

= 20 boxes of chocolates
