A) 15
B) 16
C) 17
D) 18
E) 19
Answer (1)
To solve this problem, we need to determine how many more aluminum boxes can fit into the warehouse crate.
First, let's identify the total capacity of the crate, which is 35 aluminum boxes.
Next, we are told that there are already 17 aluminum boxes in the crate.
To find out how many more boxes can fit, we subtract the current number of boxes (17) from the total capacity (35):
35 − 17 = 18
Therefore, 18 more aluminum boxes can fit into the crate.
The correct answer is option D) 18.
