Here is your solution:

Wt. Of 1 box = 4kg 500g
[ 1kg = 1000g]

Wt. Of 1 box = 4× 1000g + 500g = 4500g

Maximum load can be loaded in a van = 800 kg = 800× 1000= 800000g

No. Of boxes loaded in a van= 800000/ 4500

4500)800000( 177
4500

35000

This is a rather simple question and let me provide you with it's exact solution:

Considering that each box weighs 4.5 kg in a van that has a limit of 800kgs and assuming that we are not going to factor in the size, volume and space available in the van, the answer would simply be

800 divided by 4.5
This will bring the answer to exactly 177.77 boxes

In reality this might be 177 but for the sake of math, it's safe to assume that the correct answer is 177.7
