A loading tempo can carry 482 boxes of biscuits weighing 15kg 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.

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Weight of each box = 15 kg

Capacity of loading tempo = 482 boxes

Capacity of a van = 518 boxes

∴ Total number of boxes of 15 kg each that can be carried by both the vehicles = 482 + 518 = 1000

Hence, total weight that can be carried by both the vehicles = 15 × 1000 = 15000 kg
