Answer:

C:400 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w be the amount of additional  weight which can carry by an elephant.

The elephant can carry weight  on its back=1250 pounds

The combined weight of four people=831 pounds

We have to find the value of w.

According to question

w+831\leq 1250

w+831-831=1250-831

Using subtraction property of inequality

w\leq 419

Hence, the elephant can carry amount of  additional weight 419 pound or less than 419 pounds.

Therefore, option C is true.

vichka [17]
Set up proportions.
 3/4 cups → 1 batch
x cups    → 2 batches 
x = 2(3/4) = 6/4 = 1 1/2 cups 
3/4 cups → 1 batch
y cups → 9 batches


y = 9(3/4) = 6 3/4 cups
