Question

Somebody pls help

The maximum capacity of a theater is 471 people. So far, 254 people are seated in the theater. If p represents the number of people that can still enter the theater, write an inequality that represents the situation.

Answer 1

Answer:
`p + 254 \leq 471`

Explanation:

The number of people in the theater plus 254 )the number of people already in the theater) must be less than or equal to the maximum amount allowed to be seated, 471.

So,
`p + 254` represents the number of people in the theater.

471 is the maximum amount of people.

So, p + 254 must be less than or equal to
`p + 254`.

Therefore, we can say that:

`p + 254 \leq 471`
