Answer 1

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Dear}\mathrm{student} \\ \mathrm{One}\mathrm{box}\mathrm{weighs}=4\mathrm{kg}500\mathrm{g}=4.5\mathrm{kg} \\ \mathrm{Total}\mathrm{weight}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{van}\mathrm{can}\mathrm{carry}=800\mathrm{Kg} \\ \mathrm{So},\mathrm{number}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{boxes}\mathrm{that}\mathrm{can}\mathrm{be}\mathrm{loaded}=\frac{800}{4.5} \\ =177.7 \\ \mathrm{Thus}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{van}\mathrm{can}\mathrm{comfortably}\mathrm{carry}177\mathrm{boxes}. \\ \mathrm{Regards} \end{gathered}$$
