Puzzle | Maximum Chocolates

You have ₹15 and go to a shop where each chocolate costs ₹1. The shopkeeper also offers a deal: you can exchange 3 empty chocolate wrappers for 1 additional chocolate. So, how many chocolates can you eat at maximum?

Check if you were right - full answer with solution below.

Solution :

• With ₹15, you buy and eat 15 chocolates - you now have 15 wrappers.
• Exchange 15 wrappers for 5 more chocolates (since 3 wrappers = 1 chocolate) - Now you have 5 more wrappers.
• Exchange 3 wrappers for 1 more chocolate- now you have 2 + 1 = 3 wrappers (2 remaining + 1 from the new chocolate).
• Exchange these 3 wrappers for 1 more chocolate.

Total chocolates eaten = 15 + 5 + 1 + 1 = 22 chocolates.
