Question

A container ship left port last week caring some good weighing a total of 125,890 tons today I stopped in another port to unload as a result the weight of the good on the ship decreased by 60 what is the weight of the goods on the ship now

Answer 1

Explanation:

You need to be specific. Did the weight decrease by 60 tons or 60 pounds? I assume tons, but in math, you can't assume.

This problem seems overly simple, so I am wondering if some information is missing. With the given information and assuming the decrease was in fact 60 tons, you would have:

125,890 - 60 = 125,830 tons
