Answer: 270 chocolates

Explanation:

Given the following :

Number of 5-year Olds = 5

Number of 6-year Olds = 5

Number of 7-year Olds = 5

Number of chocolates received by each child = 3 times as many chocolate as their age.

Number of chocolates received by 5-year Olds = 3 × 5 = 15 chocolates

Number of chocolates received by 6-year Olds = 3 × 6 = 18 chocolates

Number of chocolates received by 7-year Olds = 3 × 7 = 21 chocolates

Total Number of chocolates received by 5-year Olds = 5 * 15 = 75 chocolates

Total Number of chocolates received by 6-year Olds = 5 * 18 = 90 chocolates

Total Number of chocolates received by 7-year Olds = 5 * 21 = 105 chocolates

Totak number of chocolates altogether :

(75 + 90 + 105) = 270 chocolates
