Problema Solution
Klogg weighs 170 lb. He is loading a freight elevator with identical 69-pound boxes. The elevator can carry no more than 2000 lb. If Klogg rides up with the boxes, how many boxes can be loaded on the elevator
Answer provided by our tutors
let
x = the number of boxes and x is integer
Klogg's weight + the weight of x boxes = should not be more than 2000 lb
170 + 69x <= 2000
x <= (2000 - 170)/69
x <= 25. 53
this means that not more that 25 boxes can be loaded in the elevator.
