Question

You are at an pear picking farm and they allow you to pick up to 75 pears a day. Today, you have already picked 26 pears. How many pears can you still pick?

(A) p ≥ 101
(B) p ≥ 49
(C) p ≤ 49
(D) p ≤ 101

Answer 1

(C) p ≥ 49

Explanation:

If you can only pick 75 pears, than it can't be (A) or (D) because those are already over the limit. It also can't be (B) since 26 pears is not greater than 49.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

C: p ≤ 49

Explanation:

Since you only are able to pick up 75 pears a day, and you have already picked up 26, 75-26 is 49. You can pick up no more than 49 more pears. To put that in an equation it would be p ≤ 49. I hope I've helped. If you need further explanation, please comment below.
