Question

Darnell rented a moving truck. The weight of the empty truck was 7,860 pounds. When Darnell filled the truck with items, it weighed 6 Tons. What was the weight in pounds of the items that Darnell placed in the truck?

Answer 1

Well first of all, know that 2,000 lbs equals 1 ton. That being said, 6 tons is the same as 12,000 pounds. You subtract the 7,860 from the 12,000 and you get 4,140.
