A loading tempo can carry 482 boxes of biscuits weighing 15kg each, whereas a van can carry 518 boxes each of the same weight. Find the total weight that can be carried by both the vehicles.
Weight of each box = 15 kg
Capacity of loading tempo = 482 boxes
Capacity of a van = 518 boxes
∴ Total number of boxes of 15 kg each that can be carried by both the vehicles = 482 + 518 = 1000
Hence, total weight that can be carried by both the vehicles = 15 × 1000 = 15000 kg
