Answer: Her estimate is incorrect because she has to have 25 trucks to be able to ship all her boxes.

Step-by-step explanation: Divide 539 by 22 and if there is a remainder then you need to have one more because you cant take half a truck.

539/22=24.5. Since there is a remainder, you will need 25 trucks total
