Question

⦁ Three boxes weighing 128 pounds each and one box weighing 254 pounds were loaded onto the back of an empty truck. A crate of apples was then loaded onto the same truck. If the total weight loaded onto the truck was 2,000 pounds, how much did the crate of apples weigh?

Answer 1

128 x 3 = 384
384 + 254 = 638
2,000 - 638 = 1,362
The crate of apples weighed 1,362 pounds.
