A box of chocolates contains bars of milk chocolate and dark chocolate. The weight of each bar of milk chocolate and dark chocolate is 150 ounces and 100 ounces respectively.

Answer:

7 milk chocolate

19 dark chocolate

Step-by-step explanation:

It is 2950 ounces in total, and dark chocolate is 100 ounces per bar and milk chocolate is 150 ounces per bar. There are 12 more dark chocolate bars so I multiplied 12 by 100 and that was 1,200. Then I took 2,950-1200=1,750. From there I subtracted 150 and 100 till I got to 0.
