Answer:

2,139.5 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

A certain vehicle weighs 3,890 lbs.

The front wheels carry 55% of the weight.

Then,

3,890 lbs - 100%

x lbs - 55%

Write a proportion:

[tex]\dfrac{3,890}{x}=\dfrac{100}{55}[/tex]

Cross multiply:

[tex]100x=55\cdot 3,890[/tex]

[tex]100x=213,950\\ \\x=2,139.5[/tex]
