What is the seating total in pounds?

• A. 2600 lbs
• B. 3119 lbs
• C. 2860 lbs
• D. 227 NM

Answer: (C)

The seating total reflects the combined weight of everyone seated on the boat. To find it, you multiply the number of seated occupants by the standard weight assigned to each seated person, then sum those values. In this problem, 11 people are seated and the standard weight per person used for seating is 260 pounds. So the calculation is 11 × 260 = 2860 pounds. That yields the seating total. The other option is a distance measure in nautical miles, which is not a weight and therefore not the seating total.
