To do this, we will need to find how much the elevator can hold in all. Multiply 10 by 250 to get 2500. Since it can also hold 10% more, multiply 2500 and 0.10 to find out how much 10% is. You get 250. Add 2500 and 250 to get how much the elevator can safely hold. It would be 2750.
To find out how much more weight can be added, first find out how much weight is on the elevator collectively. (books) 600+ (Jim) 180+ (Gavin) 330 + (Deb) 250 + (Susan) 120 = 1480. Subtract this from the amount the elevator can hold, and you get how much more weight can be added. 2750-1480= 1270.
The elevator can hold 1270 more ibs.

Hi there!
Amit's reasoning is incorrect because multiplying a positive number by a negative number results in a negative result. The question also says that it is a charge to his account, which means that money is being taken away. Therefore, Amit's reasoning is incorrect because the bank is taking away money from him and his equation results in a positive value, instead of negative.
Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!
First, 7 x 10 = 70, you now have 30 left, 7 x 4 = 28. 10 + 4 = 14 with a remainder of 2. That is your answer though many would put “14 2/7” as the answer with the 2 over the 7 because its the remainder over what was getting divided first. thus 100/7 is has the remainder of 2 with the quotient 14.
