Answer:

B. e - 75 < 26

Explanation:

After addressing 75 envelopes, a political volunteer has fewer than 26 envelopes left to address. Which inequality can be used to find the total number of envelopes (e)?

A. 75 - e < 26

B. e - 75 < 26

C. 75 - e > 26

D. e - 75 > 26

Total number of envelopes = e

The political volunteer has addressed 75 envelopes

The political volunteer has fewer than 26 envelopes left to address.

This means he has less than 26 envelopes to address after addressing 75 envelopes out of a total of e envelopes

The inequality that can be used is

e - 75 < 26

The correct answer is

B. e - 75 < 26
