80 milk chocolates

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of choosing a dark chocolate = number of dark

chocolate/number of total

chocolate

But the probability of choosing dark chocolate = 2/9

The number of dark chocolate = 24

Total chocolate = number of dark

chocolate/probability

of choosing dark

chocolate

Total chocolate = 24 / (2/9)

Total chocolate = (24*9) / 2

Total chocolate = 108

Number of milk chocolate = total - dark

Number of milk chocolate

= 108-28

= 80
