A trailer will be used to transport several 40-pound crates to a store. The greatest amount of weight that can be loaded into the trailer is 1,050 pounds. An 82-pound crate has already been loaded onto the trailer. What is the greatest number of 40-pound crates that can be loaded onto the trailer?

Given :

A trailer will be used to transport several 40-pound crates to a store.

The greatest amount of weight that can be loaded into the trailer is 1,050 pounds.

An 82-pound crate has already been loaded onto the trailer.

To Find :

The greatest number of 40-pound crates that can be loaded onto the trailer.

Solution :

Weight left = 1050 - 80 = 970 pound.

Let, number of 40 pounds crates that can be loaded are x.

Since, crate cannot be in fraction, so maximum crate that can be loaded is 24.

Hence, this is the required solution.

let y equal to

the total fare and x is the mile of taxi ride. so the equation is

y = 0.55x + 1.75

since susie has

$10 to spend for a taxi cab, so he can have

10 = 0.55x +

1.75

x = 15 miles of

taxi ride

so the system of

inequality is

10 < 0.55x +

1.75

x > 2
