70% to pass

The stamped full weight of a 100 lb. CO2 bottle is 314 lbs. What is the minimum weight of the bottle before it has to be recharged?

A 282 lbs.
B 294 lbs.
C 300 lbs.
D 304 lbs.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 304 lbs. The minimum weight of the 100 lb. CO2 bottle before it has to be recharged is 304 lbs. This is because the full weight of the bottle is 314 lbs., and the weight of the bottle decreases as the CO2 is used. The minimum weight before recharging is typically 5-10% less than the full weight, which in this case would be 304 lbs. The other options are incorrect because 282 lbs. is too low, 294 lbs. is still too low, and 300 lbs. is slightly above the 5-10% range from the full weight.
