Question

i need step by step explanition if you can. paper depot is delivering 952 cases of paper today.300 of the cases are plain white paper twenty-eight trucks are being loaded with an equal number of cases of paper. how many cases will each truck carry

Answer 1

34

Explanation:

We actually don't care what amount of paper is white, we just need the amount per truck. If there were 2 trucks, they would each take half of the total amount of paper. If there were 3 trucks, they would each take a third of the total amount of paper. And so on for 4,5,6,etc.

For 28 trucks, they would each take a twenty-eighth of the total amount of paper. So, the amount each truck takes is just
`952/28=34`.

So, the answer is
`\boxed{34}` and we're done!
