To find out how many boxes of books the delivery person can bring up at one time, we need to subtract the delivery person's weight from the maximum capacity of the elevator and then divide by the weight of each box.
The maximum capacity of the elevator is 1110 lb.
The delivery person weighs 160 lb.
The weight of each box is 60 lb.
1110 - 160 = 950 lb of weight that can be allocated for the boxes of books.
950 / 60 = <<950/60=15>>15 boxes of books the delivery person can bring up at one time.
So, the delivery person can bring up 15 boxes of books at one time.
