Boxes in the 1st truck originally:
= (4/[4 + 5 + 6])(1,077 - 7 - 8 - 12) + 7
= 4/15(1,050) + 7
= 280 + 7
= 287
Boxes in 2nd truck originally:
= 1/3(1,050) + 8
= 350 + 8
= 358
Boxes in the 3rd truck originally:
= 2/5(1,050) + 12
= 420 + 12
= 432
Answer: 287, 358 & 432 boxes, in the 1st, 2nd & 3rd truck, respectively.
