Question

An auto transport truck holds cars. A car dealer plans to bring in new cars in June and July. If an auto transport truck is filled for each delivery, except for the last one, how many full truckloads are needed and how many cars will be in the last truck?

Answer 1

95 truckloads

Last truck = 10 cars

Explanation:

Capacity of auto truck = 12 cars

Total number of cars to be brought in = 1150

The number of truckloads required :

Total number of cars to be brought in / capacity of auto truck

Number of truckloads = 1150 / 12 = 95.83333

This means that the number of full truckloads required will be, the whole number = 95

The last truck won't be full and will contain :

1150 - (95 * 12)

1150 - 1140

= 10 cars
