Question

Joe is moving out of his apartment. The elevator can carry, at most, 2500 poundsHe has identical boxes that are each 40 pounds. If Joe weighs 160 pounds, how many boxes can he put on the elevator ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

58

Step-by-step explanation:

first we want to write an equation and that equation would be

2500=40x+160 now we solve for x

step 1 subtract 160 from each side

2340=40x

then we divide each side by 40

x=58.5

because he cant bring half a box he can only bring 58
