Answer:

the total number of boxes being loaded is 1,200 trucks

Explanation:

Given that

There are 48 boxes that should be loaded onto a truck

And, still it is required to lead 96% of the boxes onto the truck

We need to find out the total number of boxes that should be loaded

So

Since 48 boxes represent the 4% of the boxes that are loaded

So,

The total number of boxes would be

= 48 × 100 ÷ 0.04

= 1,200 trucks

Hence, the total number of boxes being loaded is 1,200 trucks
