Answer:

p ≤ 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Maximum weight elevator can hold ≤ 1800

Weight of delivery person and packages = 520 pounds

Average weight of a person = 160 pounds

Inequality to show how many additional people elevator can hold?

(weight of delivery person and packages + average weight of persons * number of persons) ≤ 1800

Let p = number of persons

(520 + 160p) ≤ 1800

160p ≤ 1800 - 520

160p ≤ 1280

p ≤ 1280 / 160

p ≤ 8
