Determine total trips: First, we need to determine the total number of trips made by the trucks in a week. Number of trips per truck per week: 3 We are not given the number of trucks, but we know the total revenue from apples in a week, which is $4500.Calculate revenue per trip: Next, we calculate the total revenue per trip by dividing the weekly revenue by the number of trips. Total weekly revenue: $4500 Revenue per trip: $4500 / 3Find total number of trips: We made a mistake in the previous step. We need to know the number of trucks to find the total number of trips. Since we don't have that information, we should instead use the given revenue per trip to find the total number of trips. Revenue per trip: $300 Total number of trips: $4500 / $300
