Question

Large boxes weigh 75 pounds, and small boxes weigh 40 pounds. a. Write an inequality that represents the numbers of large, x , and small, y, boxes a 200-pound delivery person can take on the elevator.

Answer 1

The inequality that represents the numbers of large, x and small, y boxes of a 200 pound delivery person is; 75x + 40y ≤ 200

Weight of large boxes = 75 pounds

Weight of small boxes = 40 pounds

Number of large boxes = x

Number of small boxes = y

Thus;

Total weight of large boxes = 75x

Total weight of small boxes = 40y

If the delivery man has 200 pound weight to deliver, then inequality is;

75x + 40y ≤ 200
