    We are given that the maximum mass capacity is 1 metric ton or 1000 kg. Therefore the amount of people this can hold is simply the ratio of the maximum mass capacity over the mass of the person, that is:

    people = 1000 kg / 91 kg

    people = 10.98

    So the elevator can safely occupy 10 people. We will not exceed to 11.
