A delivery person uses a service elevator to bring boxes of books up to an office. The delivery person weighs 160 lbs and each box of books weighs 50 lbs. The maximum capacity of the elevator is 1000 lbs. How many boxes of books can the delivery person bring up at one time? Note: The delivery person cannot bring up a partial/fraction of a box.

16 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

160+50x=1000

Solve for the x and you'll get 16.8. Now, because you can't have a fraction of a box, and you can't go over the limit, the answer is 16 boxes.

(How to solve for x:

Get x by itself by subtracting 160 to both sides.

50x=1000-160

50x=840

Divide both sides by 50.

x=16.8)
