Question

workers are loading boxes onto a truck . So far, they have loaded 48 boxes onto the truck. According to their inventory, they still need to load 96% of boxes on the truck. What is the total number of boxes the workers are loading on the truck? Explain.

Answer 1

48=4% loaded on truck and they have 96% left to load
So set up a proportion and it should look like this
48 over x = 4 over 100
48/x=4/100
Do cross multiplication 100×48= 4,800÷ 4 = 1,200 total on truck

Answer 2

The total number of boxes of inventory which is loading on the truck by the workers are 1,200 boxes.

Workers are loading boxes onto a truck . So far, they have loaded 48 boxes onto the truck.

According to their inventory, they still need to load 96% of boxes on the truck. There must be 100% box at the start of the loading. Thus, the percentage of boxes they have load,

$p=100\%-96\%\\p=4\%$

Thus the percentage of boxes they have load in the truck is 4%. This is equal to the 48 boxes they have loaded.

Let suppose there is x number of total boxes. Thus the 4 percent of x will  be equal to the 48.

$\dfrac{4}{100}\times x=48\\x=\dfrac{4800}{4}\\x=1200$

Thus, the total number of boxes of inventory which is loading on the truck by the workers are 1,200 boxes.
