The weight of apples is 11.95 tons.

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of the truck with load = 15 tons 100 pounds

The weight of the truck without load = 3 tons 200 pounds

We will convert all the values in tons.

1 pound = 0.0005 ton

100 pounds = tons

So, truck with load weighs 15.05 tons

200 pounds = tons

So, truck without load weighs 3.10 tons.

Difference in weighs is = tons

This difference is the weight of apples.

Therefore, the weight of apples is 11.95 tons.
