Number of 80 kilograms crates = x

GReatest weight that can be loaded in the container = 26500 kg

Shipments already loaded = 6300

Inequality:

(number of crates* weight of each crate )+ shipment already loaded ≤ container capacity

80 x + 6300 ≤ 26500

Solve for x:

80x ≤ 26500-6300

80x ≤20200

x ≤ 20200/80

x ≤ 252.5
