An airplane has a maximum capacity of 118 passengers. the flight attendant has loaded 40 passengers. which inequality represents the solution set that shows the number of passengers, p, that can still load the plane a) p ≥ 68 b) p ≤ 68 c) p ≤ 78 d) p ≥ 78

C) p ≤ 78

I got 78 by subtracting 118 by 40. Since we know the maximum is 118 we can't get any higher than 78 so it has to be equal or less than.  

C) p ≤ 78

Step-by-step explanation:

so we know the plane has a maximum capacity of 118

and 40 have already been loaded.

118-40= 78

we know it cannot have greater than 78 but it can equal 78

there fore passengers are less than or equal to 78

also shown like this p ≤ 78 or option C
