1/4 of the total number of bottles in the truck carries (56-18= 38) so 38 bottles in 1/4 of the total number of bottles, and if 1/4 of it is 38 bottles, I'm guessing you would have to do 38*4 to get your answer (152 bottles).

18 minus 56 which is 38 bottles and then divide that by 1/4 so your answer would be152 bottles in all
