Answer: Option D

The inequality that represents the situation is:


(3)/(5)(x-5)\leq 27

following situation

Explanation:

Suppose an unknown number X.

That number minus 5 is:


x-5

Now,
(3)/(5) times the unknown number minus 5 is:


(3)/(5)(x-5)

We know that all this expression is not greater than 27.

Then we use the symbol "less or equal than" (
\leq) to represent the situation


(3)/(5)(x-5)\leq 27
