Answer: 173 motors

Explanation:

To find out how many motors can be supplied with $769.08 worth of fuses, we can divide the total amount by the cost per motor:

Number of motors = Total cost of fuses / Cost per motor

Given that the cost per motor is $4.42 and the total cost of fuses is $769.08:

Number of motors = $769.08 / $4.42 ≈ 173.99

Rounded down to the nearest whole number (since you can't supply a fraction of a motor), you can supply 173 motors with $769.08 worth of fuses.
