You receive a shipment of chicken consisting of 14 pallets. Each pallet has 84 cases except 4 which have 52 cases each. How many total cases did you receive?

Answer 1

Hello Unique,

Well we have 14 pallets total. If 4 of them have 52 cases each, and the rest of them have 84 cases each, then 14 minus 4 of them have 84 cases each. 10 of them have 84 cases each.

Which means:

4 of them have 52 cases

10 of them have 84 cases

So the total number of cases in 4 pallets of 52 cases and 10 pallets of 84 cases is:

4 pallets x 52 cases + 10 pallets x 84 cases = (4 x 52 + 10 x 84) cases = 1,048 cases

Let me know if you still need help understanding!

Answer 2

10 Pallets x 84 cases=840 cases

4 pallets x 52 cases=208 cases

208+840=1048 cases total
