Question

Workers are loading boxes onto a truck. So far, they have loaded 48 boxes onto the truck.

According to their inventory, they still need to load 96% of the boxes on the truck. How many boxes do they need to load on th
Let b = the number of boxes the workers need to load on the truck.

Answer 1

48=4% loaded on truck and they have 96% left to load
So set up a proportion and it should look like this
48 over x = 4 over 100
48/x=4/100
Do cross multiplication 100×48= 4,800÷ 4 = 1,200 total on truck
