One of the major problems faced on Brazilian highways is the excess load transported by trucks. Designed for traffic within legal load limits, the road surface deteriorates with the excessive weight of trucks. Furthermore, excess load interferes with the vehicle's braking capacity and suspension operation, frequent causes of accidents. Aware of this responsibility and based on experience gained from weighing, a truck driver knows that his truck can carry, at most, 1500 tiles or 1200 bricks. Considering this truck loaded with 900 tiles, how many bricks, at most, can be added to the load so as not to exceed the truck's maximum load? (A) 300 bricks (B) 360 bricks (C) 400 bricks (D) 480 bricks (E) 600 bricks
