Problema Solution
A toy company intends to ship out its entire stock of 14,587 toy trucks and four times as many toy cars. If each box hold 84 toys of either type, how many full boxes can be packed, and how many toys are left over for the last box?
Answer provided by our tutors
1 full box = 84 trucks + 84 cars
Let 'x' represent the number of full boxes.
84x = 14857
x = 14857/84
x = 176 full boxes 73 trucks
4*14587 - 176*84 = 43,564 cars
There are 73 trucks and 43,564 cars left.
