Question

A rental moving truck can haul a maximum of 7,500 pounds. Dejuan has boxes that weigh 40 pounds and boxes that weigh 75 pounds. How many of each kind of box can he haul in one load?

Answer 1

One hundred and fifty 40 pounds boxes and twenty 75 pounds boxes

Step-by-step explaination:

The maximum amount he can haul in one load is 7500 pounds

150 × 40 pounds boxes = 6000 pounds

20 × 75 pounds boxes = 1500 pounds

6000 pounds + 1500 pounds = 7500 pounds
