Answer 1

The value of y is at most 27.

EXPLANATION

The given inequality is;

`y \leqslant 27`

This inequality means the value of y is less than or equal to 27.

The highest value y can take is 27.

In order words, we describe it as the value of y is at most 27.

Answer 2

Answer: THIRD OPTION.

Explanation:

You have the following information given in the problem:

- The variable of the inequality is y.

- The inequality is
`y\leq27`

As you can see, the sign in the inequality is
`\leq` this means: "Less than or equal to". Then, if y is less than or equal to 27, you can conclude that the value of y is at most 27.

Therefore, the answer is the third option.
