Respuesta :

Answer:

575 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of boxes = x

The farmer already loaded [tex]\dfrac25[/tex] of the boxes onto the truck.

Therefore, the remainder [tex]=1-\dfrac25=\dfrac35[/tex]

Since he needed to load 345 more boxes of tomatoes onto the truck.

[tex]\dfrac35 \times x =345\\3x=345\times5\\x=(345\times5) \div 3\\x=575[/tex]

The farmer had 575 boxes of tomatoes to load altogether.
