A company needs to ship nine hundred thousand water bottles. The bottles are packed in cartons, which are then shipped in trucks. A carton can hold 30 bottles and a truck can hold 900 such cartons.
The company hires 32 trucks for shipping the bottles.
The company miscalculated the number of trucks required. How many bottles will be left unloaded?
Answers
Answer:
36000 bottles
Step-by-step explanation:
A carton—>30 bottles
A truck—>900 cartons x 30 bottles
= 27000 bottles
*When you take the number of cartons times the number of bottles in each carton, you will find the number of bottles each truck can carry.
32 trucks-> 27000 bottles x 32 trucks
= 864000 bottles
*When you take the number of bottles each truck can carry times the number of trucks which is 32, you will find the number of bottles 32 trucks can carry.
Remaining—>900000 bottles - 864000 bottles
=36000 bottles
*When you take the amount of bottles that is supposed to be transported minus the amount of bottles in 32 trucks, you will get the remaining bottles that were still unloaded.
