Given :

A trailer will be used to transport several 40-pound crates to a store.

The greatest amount of weight that can be loaded into the trailer is 1,050 pounds.

An 82-pound crate has already been loaded onto the trailer.

To Find :

The greatest number of 40-pound crates that can be loaded onto the trailer.

Solution :

Weight left = 1050 - 80 = 970 pound.

Let, number of 40 pounds crates that can be loaded are x.

$x = \dfrac{970}{40}\\\\x = 24.25$

Since, crate cannot be in fraction, so maximum crate that can be loaded is 24.

Hence, this is the required solution.
