An auto transport truck holds
12
cars. A car dealer plans to bring in
1
,
006
new cars in June and July. If an auto transport truck is filled for each delivery, except for the last one, how many full truckloads are needed and how many cars will be in the last truck?
To find out how many full truckloads are needed, divide the total number of cars by the capacity of each truck:
1,006 cars / 12 cars per truck = 83 full truckloads
Therefore, 83 full truckloads are needed.
To find out how many cars will be in the last truck, subtract the cars in the full truckloads from the total number of cars:
1,006 cars - (83 full truckloads * 12 cars per truck) = 1,006 cars - 996 cars = 10 cars
Therefore, the last truck will have 10 cars.
