Question

XYZ glass factory consigned 250 boxes of glass for shipment. The contract stated that the freight would be $20 per box. If a box is damaged on the way, the factory does not need to pay the freight for that box as well as gets compensated for $100. At the end, the freight totally came to $4,400. How many boxes of glass were damaged in the shipment?

Answer 1

Answer:

39

Step-by-step explanation:

250 x 20 is 500. 100 x 39 is 3,900. 3900 + 500 is 4,400. There is your answer. 39 out of 250 boxes of glass were damaged or cracked.
