At the beginning of the first day, a company has 64 shipping crates on backorder. By the end of the each day, customer order 18 more shipping more shipping crates. If the company employee work overtime and make 28 shipping crates everyday, how many crates will be on backorder at the beginning of the fifth day?

Answer :

There would be 24 crates on backorder by the beginning of the fifth day. To solve this, I wrote the equation (64+[18x4])-(28x4)=b, where b is the number of crates on backorder. Also, x is the multiplication sign in the equation. I simplified the equation to be 136-112=b, so b=24. Hope that this helps! Sorry if the explanation is a bit confusing!
