    4 chocolates

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Before Luke started eating, there were 8. This is 2/3 of what Sara had to start with, so she started with 12. That is 3/4 of what Mike started with, so he started with 16.

    Jill left 4/5 of what she started with, so she must have started with 20. Jake ate 1/6 and left 5/6, so 20 is 5 times the number Jake ate.

    Jake ate 4 chocolates.

    ___

    Jill ate 4; Mike ate 4; Sara ate 4; and Luke ate 4.
