\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I agree with @greenestamps that the problem,  as it is posed,  can not be answered.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To it,  I would add that wording in the problem is perpendicular to the meaning of words.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Thus,  the problem says  \" The price of all the chocolates . . . \".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This fragment is incorrect,  since the term  \" price \"  relates to single item/(single piece of chocolate).
\n" ); document.write( "It can not be used in this combination  \" price of all the chocolates . . . \"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The same notice is to the fragment  \" the price of all the lollipops . . . \"\r
