A shipping container will be used to transport several 80-kilogram crates across the country by rail. The greatest weight that can be loaded into the container is 25000 kilograms. Other shipments weighing 9200 kilograms have already been loaded into the container. Which inequality can be used to determine cc, the greatest number of 80-kilogram crates that can be loaded onto the shipping container?

Answer:

197

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Weight of crate = 80kg

Greatest weight container can load = 25000 kg

Weight of other shipments on container = 9200kg

Greateat Number of 80kg crates = c

Weight of other shipment + (weight of crate * number of crates) ≤ greatest weight of container

9200 + (80 * c) ≤ 25000

9200 + 80c ≤ 25000

80c ≤ 25000 - 9200

80c ≤ 15800

c ≤ 15800 / 80

c ≤ 197.5

Hence, maximum number of 80kg crate is 197

The inequality which can be used to determine c will be "[tex]9200 + 80c \leq 25000[/tex]". A complete solution is below.

Given values are:

Crates' weight,

  • 80kg

Greatest weight container,

  • 25000 kg

Other shipments' weight

  • 9200 kg

Let,

  • The Greatest number of 80kg crates will be "c".

Now,

As we know the formula,

→ [tex]Other \ shipments' \ weight + (Crates' \ weight\times Number \ of \ crates) \leq Greatest \ weight \ container[/tex]By substituting the values, we get

→   [tex]9200 + (80\times c) \leq 25000[/tex]

→          [tex]9200 + 80c \leq 25000[/tex]

Thus the above response is right.
