Function: [tex]50x=8000[/tex] (maximum number of packages: 160)
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, we have:
[tex]C=8 ton = 8000 kg[/tex] is the capacity of the truck (the amount of mass that can be stored in the truck)
p = 50 kg is the mass of each package that need to be stored in the truck
We can find the number of packages that can be transported as follows: calling this number x, the total mass of x packages is
[tex]p\cdot x[/tex]
This amount should be at most equal to the capacity of the truck, therefore:
[tex]px=c[/tex]
And substituting the numbers,
[tex]50x=8000[/tex]
And solving the equation, we can found the number of packages that can fit into the truck:
[tex]x=\frac{8000}{50}=160[/tex]
