Looking at the plan for the QF8 from a couple of days ago, it is about 600kg additional burn per 1000kg uplifted. For 3t increase, that allows 1.2T additional uplift (freight or pax). 12 extra pax at 100kg each.
C441 is correct.
Looking at a plan from recent days, POB is 310 (285 pax) with TOW at 570T.
