Answer:

Number of peolpe= 14

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Total weight= 2,100 pounds

Average weight= 150 pounds

To calculate the number of people that can ride the elevator at the same time, we need to use the following formula:

Number of people= total weight / average weight

Number of peolpe= 2,100/150

Number of peolpe= 14
