Calculate Income per Trip: Calculate the total income per trip for one truck. Each trip earns $\(300\) dollars.
Determine Number of Trips: Determine the total number of trips made by all trucks in a week. Each truck makes \(3\) trips per week.
Calculate Total Weekly Income: Calculate the total weekly income from all trips made by all trucks.\(\newline\)Total weekly income = \(\text{Number of trips per truck} \times \text{Income per trip} \times \text{Number of trucks}\)\(\newline\)Given total weekly income = \(4500\) dollars,\(\newline\)\(4500 = 3 \times 300 \times \text{Number of trucks}\)
Solve for Number of Trucks: Solve for the number of trucks.\(\newline\)\(4500 = 900 \times \text{Number of trucks}\)\(\newline\)\(\text{Number of trucks} = \frac{4500}{900}\)\(\newline\)\(\text{Number of trucks} = 5\)
