Question

A loading tempo can carry 482 boxes of biscuits weighing 15 kg each, whereas a van can carry 518 boxes each of the same weight. Find the total weight that can be carried by both the vehicles.

Answer 1

Given, number of boxes in a loading tempo = 482

Weight of each box = 15 kg

Weight of 482 boxes = 482 × 15 = 7230 kg

And number of boxes in a van = 518

Weight of each box = 15 kg

Weight of 518 boxes = 518 × 15 = 7770 kg

Now, total weight = 7230 + 7770 = 15000 kg

Hence, the total weight that can be carried by both the vehicles is 15000 kg.
