For a project, your company needs to haul away 350 bank cubic yards of sand. If the sand has a swell of 12 percent, how many loose cubic yards of sand will need to be hauled? How many truckloads are required to haul the sand offsite if each truck can haul 12 loose cubic yards?

What will be an ideal response?


Determine the volume of the haul and the number of loads as follows:

Cubic yards of haul (lcy) = 350 bcy × (1 + 0.12) = 392 lcy

Loads = 392 lcy / 12 lcy per load = 33 loads
