Question

A delivery person uses a service elevator to bring boxes of books up to an office. The delivery person weighs 170 pounds in each box of books weighs 40 pounds. The maximum capacity of the elevator is 1120 pounds. How many boxes of books can the delivery person bring up at one time

Answer 1

Answer:23.75 books.

Explanation:

1120-170=950

950/40=23.75.

if the answer was to be rounded it will be 23 boxes, since the elevator can’t surpass more than 1120pounds.
