Answer:

35 smaller trucks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

i) The larger truck with a 2.5-ton payload, and smaller trucks with 1.5-ton payload.

ii)  To unload a freight train 21 larger trucks are needed .

Total load of the freight train = 21 times 2.5 tons

= 21  × 2.5

= 52.5 tons

To find the number of small trucks needed, we need to divide 52.5 by 1.5

= 52.5 ÷ 1.5

= 35 small trucks needed.

So, to unload the freight, we need 35 smaller trucks.

B) Your local shoe store anticipated giving away 2,500 pairs of shoes in one month, but they only sold 2,215 pairs of shoes. Wha
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Approximate percent error = 15%

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Let the percentage of error be "e"

Anticipated sales = 2,500

Actual sales = 2,125

The percentage error "e" can be calculated as per the equation below:

2500*(1-e) = 2125

(1-e) = 2125/2500

1-e = 0.85

e = 1-0.85

e = 0.15

e = 15%

Approximate percentage error = 15%
