The inequality which models the situation about the restaurant's capacity is c ≤ 172.
The correct answer choice is option B.
Which of the following inequalities models the given situation?
Let
c = restaurant's capacity
Number of people that can sit in the restaurant = 172
At most in inequality means less than or equal to (≤)
So,
c ≤ 172
Therefore, the restaurant's capacity is less than or equal to 172.
