A company did a quality check on all the packs of roasted almonds it manufactured. Each pack of roasted almonds is targeted to weigh 21.25 oz. A pack must weigh within 0.24 oz of the target weight to be accepted. Find the absolute value inequality that describes the situation and solve it to find the range of rejected masses, x.

A |x − 0.24| + 21.25 > 0; x < 21.01 or x > 21.49

B |x − 21.25| > 0.24; x < 21.25 or x > 21.49

C |x − 21.25| > 0.24; x < 21.01 or x > 21.49

D |x − 0.24| + 21.25 > 0; x < 21.25 or x > 21.49
