To determine how many chocolates you can send without exceeding the 100 g limit, follow these steps:

1. **Determine the Weight per Chocolate:**
   - Each chocolate weighs **15 g**.

2. **Calculate the Maximum Number of Chocolates:**
   - **Total allowable weight:** 100 g
   - **Number of chocolates:** $$ \frac{100\,	ext{g}}{15\,	ext{g/chocolate}} \approx 6.67 $$

3. **Since you can't send a fraction of a chocolate, round down to the nearest whole number:**
   - **Maximum chocolates you can send:** **6**

4. **Verify the Total Weight:**
   - $$ 6\,	ext{chocolates} 	imes 15\,	ext{g/chocolate} = 90\,	ext{g} $$
   - This is within the 100 g limit.

**Conclusion:**  
You can send **6 chocolates** without exceeding the 100 g weight limit.
You can send 6 chocolates without exceeding the 100 g limit.
