We can first note somethings really important to solve this problem.
We can find the percentage of milk chocolates there is from the ratio. We have
\(25\% \cdot 7/5 = 5\% \cdot 7 = 35\%\)
Thus, 35% of the box is milk chocolate. Finally we know the amount of orange chocoaltes there are. We have
\(100\% - 25\% - 35\% = 40\%\)
Thus, 40% of the box is orange chocolates. Now, we can use the third condiditon stated in the problem.
Since dark and orange chocolates formed 78 pieces, let's find the percentage it is in total. We add the two up and we get
\(35\% + 45\% = 75\%\)
Thus, 75% of the box is equal to 78 pieces. We can now right the equation
\(3/4x = 78\) where x is the total amount of pieces. Thus, we have
\(x = 78 * 4/3\\ x = 26*4\\ x = 104\)
Thus our answer is 104 chocolates.
So choice 1 is our answer .
Thanks! :)
