Answer:

The number of boxes that a van of 800 kg can hold is 177 boxes.

To find:  

The number of boxes that a van hold which cannot carry more than 800 kg.

Solution:

Weight of each box of medicine = 4 kg 500 g = 4000 g + 500 g = 4500 g.

Weight that the van can carry = 800 kg = 800 x 1000 g = 800000 g  

∴ No. of boxes that the van carry  

Here, Quotient = 177                

[Remainder being 3500.]

Thus, the van can carry 177 boxes (approx.)
