To safely cross a bridge, the most a delivery truck can weigh is 4 tons. The empty truck and driver weigh a total of 5,690 pounds. How many pounds of cargo can the truck safely carry?

Truck can safely carry 2310 pounds of cargo.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the safety limit of weight to cross the bridge safely is 4 tons.

1 ton is equal to 2000 pounds.

so, 4 tons are equal to 2000 4 = 8000 pounds

Now, given that

weight of empty truck and driver = 5690 pounds

To find:

Weight of cargo that the truck can safely carry ?

Solution:

Total weight of the truck is actually the combined weight of the empty truck, the drive and the cargo carried in it.

So, Total Weight allowed = 8000 pounds = 5690 pounds + Weight of Cargo

Weight of Cargo = 8000 - 5690 pounds

Weight of Cargo = 2310 pounds

Truck can safely carry 2310 pounds of cargo.
