Question

Things are loaded on the cart.

$\begin{array}{ccc}\text{Thing loaded}& \text{Number of items}& \text{Weight of each item}\\ \text{A chair}& 4& 5\text{kg}\\ \text{A mattress}& 2& 20\text{kg}\\ \text{Bamboo ladder}& 1& 10\text{kg}\\ \text{Pots and pans}& 1& 10\text{kg}\\ \text{Water tank}& 1& 50\text{kg}\end{array}$

What is the total weight on the cart?

Answer 1

Few things are loaded on the cart. Let us find the total weight of the things.

Total weight of chairs = 4 × 5 kg = 20 kg
Total weight of mattress = 2 × 20 kg = 40 kg
Weight of bamboo ladder = 10 kg
Weight of pots and pans = 10 kg
Weight of water tank = 50 kg

Total weight of all the things combined = 20 kg + 40 kg + 10 kg + 10 kg + 50 kg
= 130 kg
