Problema Solution

A hand pallet truck can carry a maximum load of 2200lb. A worker needs to move cases of copy paper from the warehouse to a loading dock. He has already stacked 24 cases on a pallet. If the pallet weighs 40lb and each case of paper weighs 60lb, how many additional cases could he stack on the pallet before moving it to the loading dock?

Let x number of cases to be stuck

60x=2200-40-(24x60)

60x=720

x=720/60

x=12 cases more.
