Question

3000 gallons of oil are to be transported to a destination 1000 miles away.

The only delivery truck available has a load capacity of 1000 gallons max. Additionally the truck consumes 1 gallon per mile from its load.

What is the maximum gallons of oil that can reach the destination when taking into account the truck consumption?

Expert Solution
Step 1

3000 gallons of oil are to be transported to a destination 1000 miles away

     The only delivery truck  available  has a loaded capacity of 1000 gallons max

The truck  consumes 1-gallon per mile

                Then consume oil to take destination=1000mile×1 gallon/mile

                                          Total consume=1000 gallon

              So, the maximum gallons of oil that can reach the destination when taking into account the truck consumption                                               =1000-1000=0
