Well, you said 12. Since the exact result is roughly 11.76, and you can't have 76/100ths of a person, it has to be 11.

Answer:

A maximum of 11 people can occupy the elevator.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 metric ton is [tex]1\times10^{3}[/tex] kg or 1000 kg

We have been asked how many 85 kg people can safely occupy an elevator that can hold a maximum mass of exactly 1 metric ton.

Number of persons are = [tex]\frac{1000}{85}=11.76[/tex]

So, a maximum of 11 people can occupy the elevator.
