Answer:

3,375 chairs

Explanation:

The weight of 25 folding chairs is 15 kg

Number of folding chairs : weight

= 25 : 15

How many chairs can be loaded on a truck having a capacity of

carrying 2025 kg load?

Let number of folding chairs = x

Number of folding chairs : weight = x : 2025

Equate both ratios

25 : 15 = x : 2025

25/15 = x/2025

Cross product

25 * 2025 = 15 * x

50,625 = 15x

x = 50,625/15

x = 3,375

Number of folding chairs = 3,375 chairs
