444. You are loading a cargo of cases into a hold which has a bale cubic of 44,000. The cargo consists of cases measuring 4 ft by 2 ft by 1.5 ft. Estimated broken stowage is 15%. What is the maximum number of cases which can be stowed in the hold?

The maximum number of cases is determined by subtracting the broken stowage from the hold's bale cubic, dividing the result by the volume of a single case, and rounding down to the nearest whole number; 3116 cases fit within the usable volume of 37,400 ft3.
