Answer:

12 more trucks

Step-by-step explanation:

316 packet per trip

12 trips

So,

total packet per truck (in 12 trips) = 12 * 316 = 3792

SO, 6 trucks would transport (packets) = 6 * 3792 = 22,752 packets (total)

We need total 22,752 packets to be delivered in 4 trips only!

We can say:

Number of Trucks * Number of Trips * 316 packet = 22,752

Number of Trips is 4, so we have:

Number of Trucks * 4 * 316 = 22,752

SO,

Number of trucks * 1264 = 22,752

Number of trucks = 22,752/1264 = 18 trucks

We need to know HOW MANY MORE trucks (from 6), so that would be:

18 - 6 = 12 more trucks
