Jacob wants to use an elevator to carry identical packages having the same weight. each package weighs 3 pounds and jacob weighs 99 pounds. if the elevator can carry a maximum of 300 pounds at a time, which inequality shows the maximum number of packages, n, that jacob can carry with himself in the elevator if he is the only passenger?

The required inequality that shows the maximum number of packages is .

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Each package weighs 3 pounds and Jacob weighs 99 pounds.

let n is the maximum number of package that Jacob can carry with himself in the elevator.

Thus, the total weight of Jacob while having n packages on the elevator is:

The elevator can carry a maximum of 300 pounds at a time, therefore.

Now, subtract 99 from both sides and divide the obtained inequality with 3.

Thus, the Jacob can carry maximum 67 packages.

Hence, the required inequality that shows the maximum number of packages is .
