Maximum Chocolates

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.
