Given :
A morning truck can carry no more than 1480 pounds of cargo.
Brian loaded 640 pounds into the truck already.
He is loading boxes that weigh 70 pounds.
To Find :
How many boxes can he out into the truck.
Solution :
Weight left for carrying cargo, W = 4180 - 640 pounds
W = 3540 pounds
Number of boxes of 70 pounds cargo he can carry in truck is :
[tex]n =\dfrac{3540}{70}\\\\n = 50.57[/tex] ≈ 50 .
Therefore, number of box they can carry is 50.
Hence, this is the required solution.
