Respuesta :

The number of avocados in an average selection of 12 crates is 500 avocadoes.

What is the total number of avocadoes in the truck?

The total number of avocadoes in the truck is determined from the correct insurance value f the avocadoes.

The total number of avocadoes in the truck is calculated as follows:

Weight of one avocado = 0.4 pound

Value of avocado per pound = $0.30

Value of one avocado = $0.30 * 0.4

Value of one avocado = $0.12

Value of one crate of avocado = $2000/400

Value of one crate of avocado = $5

Number of avocadoes per crate = 5/0.12 41 avocadoes

Number of avocados in an average selection of 12 crates =  5/0.12 * 12

Number of avocados in an average selection of 12 crates = 500 avocadoes
