Question

workers are loading boxes onto a truck . So far, they have loaded 48 boxes onto the truck. According to their inventory, they still need to load 96% of boxes on the truck. What is the total number of boxes the workers are loading on the truck? Explain.

Answer 1

48=4% loaded on truck and they have 96% left to load
So set up a proportion and it should look like this
48 over x = 4 over 100
48/x=4/100
Do cross multiplication 100×48= 4,800÷ 4 = 1,200 total on truck
