WTF

Cannot for the life of me answer this question:

You are planning a flight from AUCKLAND (NZAA) to SYDNEY (YSSY).

You have the following planning data:

Maximum performance limited BRW AUCKLAND..... 85550 kg
Maximum performance limited LW SYDNEY............. 71450 kg
Basic Weight ............................................................ ... 47250 kg

SYDNEY is SUITABLE. AUCKLAND is ACCEPTABLE, but may be considered SUITABLE if 60 minutes holding fuel is carried.

Flight fuel for Normal Operations is 13950 kg.
Flight fuel for Normal Operations to the NZAA-YSSY CP/1-INOP then One Engine Inoperative Operations (1-INOP) from the CP is 14900 kg.
Flight fuel for Normal Operations to the NZAA-YSSY CP (Depressurised) then Depressurised from the CP is 15750 kg.

The maximum payload for the flight is closest to -16410 kg
16500 kg
16250 kg
16160 kg
16100 kg


The answer is 16160. If someone could explain how to get there I'll be forever in your debt.
