Question

which inequality represents the condition \a bus can carry no more than 50 passengers\?
a. $p \geq 50$
b. $p < 50$
c. $p > 50$
d. $p \leq 50$

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the phrase "no more than"

The phrase "no more than" means that the number of passengers \( p \) can be equal to 50 or less than 50.

Step2: Translate to inequality

Mathematically, "less than or equal to" is represented by the symbol \( \leq \). So the number of passengers \( p \) must satisfy \( p \leq 50 \).

Answer:

d. \( p \leq 50 \)
