Question

A truck, loaded with 200 bags of cement,is driven onto a weighbridge. It is found that together with it's load, the truck weighs 82 tons. If each bag of cement weighs 50 kg, what is the mass of the truck,without the cement?

Answer 1

1 metric ton or tonne (t) is 1000kg. 200 bags of cement @ 50kg per bag weigh 200*50=10000kg=10t. So truck weighs 82-10=72t.
