Question

An elevator at a construction site has a maximum capacity of 3325 pounds. If the elevator operator weighs 225 pounds and each cement bag weighs 75 pounds, how many bags of cement can be safely lifted on the elevator in one trip?

Answer 1

answer: 41

3325 - 225 = 3,100
3,100 / 75 = 41.3 but you can’t take .3 bags so you round down to 41
