The total weight limit for a truck is 100,000 pounds. The truck weighs 36,000 pounds when the truck is empty.
What is the most that the truck's load can weigh?
64,000 pounds. If the trucks weight limit is 100,000 pounds and it already weighs 36,000 pounds when empty, we can subtract 36,000 from 100,000 to get 64,000 pounds.
