A construction elevator can carry at most 2,320 pounds. If the elevator operator weighs 195 pounds and each pallet of roofing material weighs 425 pounds, what is the maximum number of pallets of roofing material that the elevator can carry in one trip?

A. 4.5
B. 5
C. 6
D. 9.7

Answer :

195 + 425p < = 2320
425p < = 2320 - 195
425p < = 2125
p < = 2125 / 425
p < = 5............the maximum number of palettes is 5
2320 - 195 = 2125

2125 divided by 425 = 5

Your answer is B, 5
