Answer:
7 chocolates
Step-by-step explanation:
30 chocolates = total number of chocolates Emma and Zo have
Let 3x = number of chocolates Zo have
x = number of chocolate Emma have
2 = number of chocolates left
therefore
3x + x = (30 -2)
3x + x = 28
4x = 28
x = 7
x = 7 (for Emma)
3x = 3 (7) = 21 (for Zo)
