Answer: 2,350 pounds


Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 1 ton=2000 pounds

Thus, Maximum allowable weight = 2.25 tons

[tex]=2.25\times2000\ pounds\\=4,500\ pounds[/tex]

Weight of Jason's truck=2,150 pounds

Therefore, the additional weigh can he carry

=Maximum allowance-weight of truck

[tex]=4,500-2,150=2,350\ pounds[/tex]

⇒The additional weigh can he carry=[tex]2,350\ pounds[/tex]
