Question

A construction elevator can carry at most 2,320 pounds. If the elevator operator weighs 195 pounds and each palette of roofing material weighs 425 pounds, what is the maximum number of palettes of roofing material that the elevator can carry in one trip?

Answer 1

The maximum number of palettes that the elevator can carry in one trip is 5.

425 times 5= 2,125+ 195= 2,320
