The maximum weight your office building's elevator can carry is 1,500 pounds. You

need to move boxes each weighing 50 pounds from the fifth floor to the third
floor. Let n represent the number of boxes you place in the elevator. If you weigh
140 pounds, what is the correct inequality that can be used to determine the
maximum number of boxes that you can place in the elevator at one time? Assume
only you and the boxes are in the elevator.
