An elevator can hold less than 2700 pounds of extra weight. If an average person weighs 150 pounds, what is the maximum number of people (p) that can be on the elevator at one time?
(A) p ≤ 18
(B) p > 18
(C) p < 18
(D) p ≥ 18

Answer:

(A) p ≤ 18

Step-by-step explanation:

p = people obviously

If you divide 2700 and 150 you get 18

2700/150 = 18

So now this is where you have to think a little, if 18 people get on an elevator then they are at maximum weight capacity. But if 17 people or less get on then they don't exceed the weight limit for therefore p can be less than or equal to 18, which is why this sign (≤) is there, the little line under the less then sign means it can be less than or equal to.
