Answer: 63lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

The truck can only hold 16crates and each crate weigh 12lbs, the total weight of the 16 crates will be 12×16= 192lbs

This shows that the truck can only contain extra load of 1200lbs - 192lbs = 1008lbs (excluding weight of crates).

To get the shipment weigh close to the total of 1200lbs, the truck must be loaded with engine components not more than 1008lbs.

Since we have 16 crates to fill with engine components not more than 1008lb, each crates will therefore must not exceed 1008/16 pounds of engine components which is equivalent to 63lbs.

Therefore, the manager should instruct the workers to put 63lbs of machine components in "each crate" in order to get the shipment weight as close as possible to 1200 lbs.

(02.05 MC) A dance school has 63 ballet dancers. If 42% of the total number of dancers in the school are ballet dancers, what is
Elena L [17]

Alright, lets get started.

Suppose total number of dancers in school = x

We have given in question, 42 % of total dancers are ballet dancers.

So, we could find number of ballet dancers by finding 42 % of total dancers.

Number of ballet dancers = x * 42 %

Number of ballet dancers = x * 42/100 = 0.42 x

As per given in question, there are 63 ballet dancers in school.

Which means 0.42 x = 63

Dividing 0.42 from both sides

0.42 x / 0.42 = 63 / 0.42

x = 150

Hence number of total dancers in school = 150 : Answer

Hope it will help :)
