How many (whole number of) 76 kg people

can safely occupy an elevator that can hold a maximum mass of exactly 1 metric ton?

A metric ton is 1.000 × 103 kg.

Answer in units of people

**Answer:**

If 1.000 means a number one (in American and British English) then one person can occupy an elevator.

If 1.000 means a thousand then whole number of people is 1355.
