Question

A cat adoption facility takes in an average of 4 cats per day. The facility has to keep their cat occupancy below 200. Currently, the facility has 168 cats.

If none of their cats get adopted, how many more days, x, can the facility continue to take in cats? Select the inequality that includes the largest number of days this facility can continue to take in cats without exceeding its occupancy limit.
A.
x < 32
B.
x < 8
C.
x < 28
D.
x < 50

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

If they have 168 cats, they have capacity for 32 more. If they take in 4 cats a day, then it will take 8 days for their facility to fill up. So less than 8.
