Problema Solution
A cyclist takes her bicycles on a chairlift to the top of a slope. The chairlift can safely carry 680 lb. The cyclist weighs 124 lbs, and the bicycle weighs 32 lbs. What are the possible additional weights the chairlift can safely carry?
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'x' be the possible additional weight then
124 + 32 + x <= 680
156 + x <=680
x <= 680 - 156
x <= 524
the chairlift can safely carry additional weight of not more then 524 lbs.
