A machine is used to fill several bags each of 20-ounces of spicey

chips. After each bag is filled, another machine weighs them. If the
bag weighs .25 less or more than the desired weight, the bag is
rejected. Write an equation to represent the maximum weight for a
bag of chips that the machine will approve.
