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.
