Given :

A freight elevator has a weight limit of 15,000 pounds.

Workers have loaded items weighing 2.6 tons onto the elevator.

To Find :

How many more pounds of freight can they load before reaching the weight limit.

Solution :

We know, 1 ton = 2000 pounds.

So, 2.6 ton = 2.6 × 2000 = 5200 pounds.

Now, number of pounds of freight can be loaded before reaching the weight limit is :

N = 15000 - 5200 pounds

N = 9800 pounds
