You said that "each truck carries the same weight".
This means that the shipping manager DIVIDED the paper equally among the four trucks. Does that give you any ideas, hmm ?
How about DIVIDING the 110.4 tons into 4 equal parts, thenput one part on each truck.
110.4 tons DIVIDED by 4 = 27.6 tons

divide total weight by number of trucks:

110.4 / 4 = 27.6 tons per truck
