Donna is trying to figure out if her truck is over a particular bridge's weight limit. The bridge can hold 20,000 pounds. Donna's empty truck weighs 12,000 pounds. She's carrying 20 crates of soda that each weigh 50 pounds, 3 dryers that each weigh 3000 pounds, and twice as much weight in fresh produce as in soda. How much does Donna's fully loaded truck weigh?
First find the total weight of the soda by multiplying the number of crates by the weight per crate: 20 crates * 50 pounds/crate = <<20*50=1000>>1000 pounds
Then find the weight of the fresh produce by doubling the weight of the soda: 1000 pounds * 2 = <<1000*2=2000>>2000 pounds
Now find the weight of the dryers by multiplying the quantity by the weight per item: 3 dryers * 3000 pounds/dryer = <<3*3000=9000>>9000 pounds
Now add the empty truck's weight to the weight of all three groups of products to find the fully loaded weight: 12000 pounds + 1000 pounds + 2000 pounds + 9000 pounds = <<12000+1000+2000+9000=24000>>24000 pounds
