Q. Lennox owns a big apple orchard. She ships her apples to various markets using a fleet of trucks. Every week, each truck goes on 33 trips, and for each trip Lennox gets 300300. On a single trip, a truck delivers 5050 packs, and each pack contains 1212 kilograms of apples. Overall, Lennox sells 45004500 worth of apples in a week.\newlineHow many trucks are in Lennox's fleet?\newlinetrucks
  1. Calculate Total Income: Calculate the total income per truck per week.\newlineEach truck goes on 33 trips per week, and Lennox gets 300300 dollars for each trip.\newlineTotal income per truck per week = Number of trips per truck per week ×\times Income per trip\newlineTotal income per truck per week = 33 trips/week ×\times 300300 dollars/trip\newlineTotal income per truck per week = 900900 dollars/week
  2. Calculate Number of Trucks: Calculate the number of trucks based on the total weekly income from all trucks.\newlineWe know that Lennox sells 45004500 dollars worth of apples in a week.\newlineNumber of trucks = Total weekly income from all trucks / Total income per truck per week\newlineNumber of trucks = 4500 dollars900 dollars per truck\frac{4500 \text{ dollars}}{900 \text{ dollars per truck}}\newlineNumber of trucks = 55
  3. Verify Answer: Verify the answer by checking if the number of trucks calculated can indeed generate the total weekly income.\newlineTotal weekly income from all trucks == Number of trucks ×\times Total income per truck per week\newlineTotal weekly income from all trucks =5= 5 trucks ×900\times 900 dollars per truck\newlineTotal weekly income from all trucks =4500= 4500 dollars\newlineSince this matches the given total weekly income, our calculation is correct.
