Answer:
You can get total 22 chocolates.
Explanation:
1 chocolate for $1, so
A = 15 chocolates for $15.
If you return 15 wrappers, so
B = you can get 5 more chocolates (15/3).
Return 3 wrappers out of 5, so
C = you get 1 more chocolate (3/3)
Now return 2 remaining wrappers + 1 wrapper for chocolate you got in C. So,
D = 1 Chocolate ((2+1)/3)
Total Chocolates = A + B + C + D = 15 + 5 + 1 + 1 =22
