Absolutely! I’m ready for your math question. Go ahead and ask.

Ok. It’s in two parts. The first part is the grocery budget is 420 hours. If this is based on 70 cases per hour for the stockers to stock, how many cases came in on the trucks that week?

To calculate the number of cases that came in on the trucks based on your grocery budget, we use the information provided:

• The budget is 420 hours.
• The stocking rate is 70 cases per hour.

To find the total number of cases, we multiply the total hours by the number of cases stocked per hour:

Total cases = Total hours × Cases per hour

Now, let’s calculate this.

The total number of cases that came in on the trucks for that week is 29,400 cases.

Is there anything else you’d like to calculate or any other part of the problem? ​​

That was the easy part. Next, suppose it took the team 720 hours to complete. What is their actual stocking speed?
