Question

Jacob wants to use an elevator to carry identical packages having the same weight. Each package weighs 3 pounds and Jacob weighs 99 pounds. If the elevator can carry a maximum of 300 pounds at a time, which inequality shows the maximum number of packages, n, that Jacob can carry with himself in the elevator if he is the only passenger?
n ≤ 67
n ≥ 67
n ≤ 198
n ≥ 198

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, it is necessary to remember that Jacob weights 99 pounds. Another important number is 300, the pound the elevator can carry. Finally, Jacob has identical packages that weight 3 pounds. So we need to perform the following calculations:

300-99=201.

3*67=201, which is the same as Option B.

Answer 2

Answer:

Your answer is B

Step-by-step explanation:

Take 300 and subtract it by 99 you'll get 201

3 times 67 is 201

Which is why your answer is B!
