Nick hides 10 chocolates in his closet. His brother Alix hides 3 times as many chocolates than Nick hides. Last night, their mom found and took 5 chocolates from Alix. How many more chocolates does Alix have than Nick?
Alix has 3 * 10 = <<3*10=30>>30 chocolates.
After his mom took 5 chocolates, Alix has now 30 - 5 = <<30-5=25>>25 chocolate.
So Alix has 25 - 10 = <<25-10=15>>15 chocolates more than Nick.
