A loaded truck is of weight of 6500 kg. If 82% of this weight represents the load, then how much is the
weight of truck?
Answers
Calculation of weight of the truck
Answer:
Weight of truck is 1170 kg.
Explanation:
Given that
Total weight of loaded truck = 6500 kg
weight of the load is 82%
need to determine weight of truck
Total weight of loaded truck = weight of the load + weight of truck
lets first calculate weight of the load.
Weight of the load = 82% of total weight of loaded truck
=> Weight of the load = (82/100) x 6500 = 82 x 65 = 5330
=> Weight of the load = 5330kg
As Total weight of loaded truck = weight of the load + weight of truck
=> 6500 = 5330 + weight of truck
=> 6500 - 5330 = weight of truck
=> weight of truck = 1170 kg
there is one quick way also to do this question.
since weight of load = 82% , remaining that is 100 - 82 = 18% is weight of truck
=> 18% of 6500 = (18/100) x 6500 = 1170 kg
Hence weight of truck is 1170 kg.
