Let the no of necklaces be 'n' , flowers be 'f' and chocolates be 'c'.
Therefore , n+f+c=100.............1
and 20 n + 6 f + c =200.............2
or, 19 n + 5 f = 100 (subtracting 1 from 2)
there is only one solution where 'n' and 'f' are positive i.e. n= 5 and f= 1
Therefore necklace (5) = 50, flower (1) = 3 and chocolate (94) = 47
So, 4 7 5 0 − 3 = 1
