Answer:

The answer is 60 packages.

Explanation:

The explanation:

5.96 - 5.6 = 0.33 (the total weight of the packages)

0.33 / 0.0055 = 60 (how many packages that weight 0.33)

TO CHECK:

60 x 0.0055 = 0.33

0.33 + 5.6(the weight of the truck) = 5.93 (our goal)

So finally the answer should be 60!

Good Luck, hopefully you find this helpful!
