Align the horizontal edge of the protractor with the base of the triangle. Place the center point of the protractor on the vertex of the angle. Follow the side of the triangle until it reaches the angle measurement mark. Note the measurement.
The variable, x, is the amount of carried good.
We know that x<550
also y will be the number of people.
so x=336+y*25 (the total weight is the equipment plus 25 lbs for food for each person)
so we can substitute:
x<550
x=336+y*25
336+y*25<550
subtract 336 from both sides
y*25<214
divide by 25
y<8.56
so it has to less than 8 people.
The greatest number of people in the expedition is 8.
