How many cases ..

Question

paper depot is sending 30 trucks to deliver paper . Each truck is loaded with 49 cases of paper . 480 cases are plain paper . How many cases of all types of paper will be delivered ? 

Answer 1

The first step is to find turn the words into equations.

 

 

Given that 30 trucks are each carrying 49 cases of paper we know that the following is true.

 

Total paper delivered = 30 trucks x 49 cases/truck = 1470 cases

 

Given 480 are plain that means 990 are not plain.

 

You state all types of paper, so that included all the cases. So assuming no typo you still deliver 1470 cases of paper.

 

Good luck
