Im thinking it would it be 3,000

Answer:

[tex]300 Kg\\[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

1 Kilogram [tex]= 10[/tex] hectograms

Thus, 7000 hectograms [tex]= \frac{7000}{10} \\= 700 Kg\\[/tex]

Maximum capacity of the elevator [tex]= 1000 Kg\\[/tex]

More weight that can be added to the elevator before it reaches its maximum capacity

[tex]= 1000 Kg - 700 kg\\= 300 Kg\\[/tex]
