Answer: Only 6 milk chocolates are expired.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Total number of chocolates = 15

Types of chocolates are as follows:

1) Milk chocolates

2) Dark chocolates

3) Mix

According to question,

Number of milk chocolates that are expired = 6

Number of dark chocolates that are expired = 3

total number of chocolates that are expired = 6+3=9

And we have mentioned that 6 milk chocolates that are not expired.

and 9+6=15

No other chocolates are left in a case of chocolate.

so, only mentioned 6 milk chocolates are expired.
