A truck can carry 8,250 kg of goods. A factory loads 3,675 kg of cement and 2,850 kg of steel on it.
(a)
What is the total weight loaded onto the truck?
Answer
The total weight loaded onto the truck is 3,675 + 2,850 = 6,525 kg.
(b)
How much more weight can the truck carry before reaching its maximum capacity?
Answer
The truck can carry 8,250 - 6,525 = 1,725 kg more before reaching maximum capacity.
Explanation
(a) Add the weight of cement (3,675 kg) and steel (2,850 kg) to get total weight loaded. (b) Subtract the loaded weight from maximum capacity: 8,250 - 6,525 = 1,725 kg.
