Question

8. An elevator has a weight capacity of 4,500 pounds. Five students weighing a total of 945 pounds got on the elevator. Which inequality statement shows the number of pounds p that can be added to the elevator without exceeding the capacity? a.) p - 945 < 4,500 b.) p - 945 – 4,500 c.) p + 945 < 4,500 d.) p. 945 = 4,500​

Answer 1

C p+945<4,500

Explanation:

There is already 945 pounds. Anything added to that needs to be less than 4,500 pounds because that is the limit the elevator can hold.
