Hello!

Divide the total amount of chocolates by the number of chcolates each box will contain.

234 ÷ 11 = 21.2727272727

It is a repeating decimal. Now, obviously there won't be 21.2727272727 boxes chcolates.

11 × 21 = 231

11 × 22 = 242

If you multiply 11 by 21, you get 231 -- which is 3 less than the total amount of chocolates. But if you multiply it by 22, you get a number that is greater than 234, so it is not possible.

ANSWER:

There will be 21 boxes of chocolates, and 3 left over.
