weight of one box=4.5 kg
maximum weight carried by a van =800 kg
no.of boxes---- weight
1--------------- 4.5 kg
x---------------800 kg
so, x=800/4.5
x=800*10/45
x=177.78(approx)
so no.of boxes a van can carry is 177 boxes
it is not 178 because it cant carry more but can if less
if 178 boxes it exceeds 800 kg so
the no.of boxes can be carried is 177
