The carrying capacity of a certain flatbed truck is 6.5 tons. Each crate weighs 550 pounds, and the rolling platform that holds up to two crates weighs 120 pounds. The platform stays with the crates while they’re on the truck. If nothing else is on the truck and space isn’t an issue, what is the maximum number of crates, along with the rolling platforms, that can safely be placed on the truck? (2,000 pounds = 1 ton)
