Answer:
At most 29 boxes can be safely loaded onto the pallet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Weight of each box = 55 pound
Weight pallet can support 1595 pounds.
We need to find the number of boxes .
Solution:
Let the number of boxes loaded safely onto the pallet be 'x'.
So we can say that;
Weight of each box Multiplied by number of boxes should be less than or equal to Weight pallet can support.
framing in equation form we get;
Dividing both side by 55 we get;
Hence At most 29 boxes can be safely loaded onto the pallet.
We must find UNIQUE combinations because choosing a,b,c,d... is the same as d,c,b,a...etc. For this type of problem you use the "n choose k" formula...
n!/(k!(n-k)!), n=total number of choices available, k=number of choices made..
In this case:
20!/(10!(20-10)!)
20!/(10!*10!)
