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

Answer:

The total weight carried by loading tempo = No. of boxes \[\times \] weight of biscuits in each box \[=482\times 15=7,230\text{ }kg\] The total weight carried by van = no. of boxes in van \[\times \] weight of biscuits in each box \[=518\times 15=7,770\text{ }kg\] Hence total weight of both the vehicles = Total weight carried by loading tempo + Total weight carried by van \[=7,230+7,770\] \[=15,000\text{ }kg\]
