Calculate Total Income: Calculate the total income per truck per week. Each truck goes on 3 trips per week, and Lennox gets 300 dollars for each trip. Total income per truck per week = Number of trips per truck per week * Income per trip Total income per truck per week = 3 trips/week * 300 dollars/trip Total income per truck per week = 900 dollars/weekCalculate Number of Trucks: Calculate the number of trucks based on the total weekly income from all trucks. We know that Lennox sells 4500 dollars worth of apples in a week. Number of trucks = Total weekly income from all trucks / Total income per truck per week Number of trucks = 4500 dollars / 900 dollars per truck Number of trucks = 5Verify Answer: Verify the answer by checking if the number of trucks calculated can indeed generate the total weekly income. Total weekly income from all trucks = Number of trucks * Total income per truck per week Total weekly income from all trucks = 5 trucks * 900 dollars per truck Total weekly income from all trucks = 4500 dollars Since this matches the given total weekly income, our calculation is correct.
