To find out how many boxes of books the delivery person can bring up at one time, we need to divide the maximum capacity of the elevator (1110 lb) by the weight of each box of books (60 lb).
Number of boxes of books = maximum capacity of elevator / weight of each box of books
Number of boxes of books = 1110 lb / 60 lb
Performing the division, we get:
Number of boxes of books ≈ 18.5
However, since the delivery person can only bring a whole number of boxes, they can bring up a maximum of 18 boxes of books at one time.
