<u>Solution:</u>
The forklift is 175% as one crate (that weight 300 lbs).
175% = 175/100 = 1.75
1.75*300 = 525 lb
Forklift weights 525 pounds
So, remaining weight limit on the elevator for the crates would be:
3200 - 525 = 2675 lb
How many 300 lb crate can that hold??
2675/300 = 8.92 crates MAX
So, that practically means we can load 8 crates at max.
From the answer choices we can load "6" and "8" crates.
Answer choices A and B are right.
