Im thinking it would it be 3,000

Answer:

\(300 Kg\\\)

Step-by-step explanation:

1 Kilogram \(= 10\) hectograms

Thus, 7000 hectograms \(= \frac{7000}{10} \\= 700 Kg\\\)

Maximum capacity of the elevator \(= 1000 Kg\\\)

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

\(= 1000 Kg - 700 kg\\= 300 Kg\\\)
