Question

Someone help me with this plsssssss.

"A shipping container will be used to transport several 100-kilogram crates across the country by rail. The greatest weight that can be loaded into the container is 24500 kilograms. Other shipments weighing 9100 kilograms have already been loaded into the container. Use the drop-down menu below to write an inequality representing cc, the total number of 100-kilogram crates that can be loaded into the shipping container."

Answer 1

It would be x < 150 ok!

Answer 2

`\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}`

Let the number of 100 - kilogram crates be x

According to question, The load capacity of container is 24500 kgs, and other shipments already weight 9100 kgs, now we have to find out how many 100 - kg crates can be loaded into the shipping container.

`\qquad \tt \dashrightarrow \:100x + 9100 \leqslant 24500`

`\qquad \tt \dashrightarrow \:100x \leqslant 24500 - 9100`

`\qquad \tt \dashrightarrow \:100x \leqslant 15400`

`\qquad \tt \dashrightarrow \:x \leqslant 154`

So, the maximum number of 100 - kg crates that can be loaded on the container is 154
