Question 9 • WORKKEYS APPLIED MATH - COMPLETE COURSE

An appliance company has a monthly budget of $4,000 for delivery service. It costs the company $75 dollars per delivery. What is the maximum number of deliveries the appliance company can make in one month?

Answer
A
6
B
53
C
54
D
75
E
125

Explanation

Divide the $4,000 monthly budget by $75 per delivery: $4,000 ÷ $75 = 53⅓. Since the company can only make a whole number of deliveries without exceeding its budget, the maximum is 53 deliveries. Choice B, 53, is correct; 54 deliveries would cost $4,050.
