Question
Manpreet wants 1500 sacks of cement for making a house. A truck carries 250 sacks at a time. How many trips will the truck make?
A driver charges Rs 500 for a trip. How much will Manpreet pay the driver for all the trips?
Solution
Total number of sacks of cement needed by Manpreet for making a house = 1500
Number of sacks carried by the truck in 1 trip = 250
Number of sacks carried by the truck in 2 trips = 250 × 2 = 500
Number of sacks carried by the truck in 3 trips = 250 × 3 = 750
Number of sacks carried by the truck in 4 trips = 250 × 4 = 1000
Number of sacks carried by the truck in 5 trips = 250 × 5 = 1250
Number of sacks carried by the truck in 6 trips = 250 × 6 = 1500
∴ Number of trips made by the truck to carry 1500 sacks = 1500 ÷ 250 = 6
Thus, the truck will make 6 trips to carry 1500 sacks of cement.
Amount charged by the driver for one trip = Rs 500
Number of trips made by the truck = 6
∴ Total amount charged by the driver for 6 trips = Rs 500 × 6 = Rs 3000
Thus, Manpreet will pay Rs 3000 to the driver for all the trips.
