Solution

Weight of $1$ medicine box $= 4 k g 500 g$
$= 4 k g + 500 g$
$= 4 \times 1000 + 500 = 4000 + 500 = 4500$ gm

Total capacity of truck $= 800$ kg

$= 800 \times 1000$ gm (since $1$ kg $= 1000$ gm)

$= 8, 00, 000 g m$

Number of boxes can be loaded $= \frac{T o t a l w e i g h t}{w e i g h t o f 1 b o x}$

$= \frac{8, 00, 000}{4500} \approx 177$

$∴$ Number of boxes $= 177$
