To find the total weight of the dump truck after adding 15,300 pounds of trash, we need to add the weight of the trash to the weight of the empty dump truck.
Weight of empty dump truck = 2.8 × 10^5 pounds
Weight of dump truck with trash = Weight of empty dump truck + Weight of trash
Weight of dump truck with trash = 2.8 × 10^5 pounds + 1.53 × 10^4 pounds
Weight of dump truck with trash = 2.8 × 10^5 pounds + 1.53 × 10^4 pounds
Weight of dump truck with trash = 4.33 × 10^5 pounds
Therefore, the weight of the dump truck after adding 15,300 pounds of trash is 4.33 × 10^5 pounds.
An empty dump truck weighs about 2.8×10^5 pounds. How much does it weigh if 15,300 pounds of trash is added? The answer should be in scientific notation
15,302.8 pounds
29,530 pounds
