A shipping container will be used to transport several 40-kilogram crates across the country by rail. The greatest weight that can be loaded into the container is 23000 kilograms. Other shipments weighing 7800 kilograms have already been loaded into the container.

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

A shipping container will be used to transport several 40-kilogram crates across the country by rail. The greatest weight that can be loaded into the container is 23000 kilograms. Other shipments weighing 7800 kilograms have already been loaded into the container. Which inequality can be used to determine cc, the greatest number of 80-kilogram crates that can be loaded onto the shipping container?

Solution :

Given data :

Weight of the crate = 40 kg

Greatest weight that the container can load = 23000 kg

Weight of the other shipments on the container = 7800 kg

So the greatest number of 40 kg crates = c

Therefore, the weight of the other shipment + weight of crate x number of crates ≤ greatest weight of the container

7800 + (40 x c) ≤ 23000

7800 + 40c ≤ 23000

40c ≤ 23000 - 7800

40c ≤ 15200

c ≤ 380

Hence, the maximum number of 40 kg crate is 380.
