How many chocolates did the students eat? ** The ones with nuts that they ate was 40% of the box because 80% x .5 = 40%
How many chocolates did the students eat? ** The ones without nuts that they ate equaled 25% of the box because 50% x .5 = 25%
How many chocolates did the students eat? ** They ate 65% of the box because 40 + 25 = <<40+25=65>>65
How many chocolates were left? ** They left 35% of the box because 100 - 65 = <<100-65=35>>35
How many chocolates were in the box? ** The box had 80 chocolates because 28 / .35 = <<28/.35=80>>80
