The total amount of weight on an airplane cannot exceed 2,500 pounds. the plane is carrying 1,750 pounds of luggage. the average weight of each passenger on the plane is 150 pounds. set up and solve an inequality to find the number of passengers, p, the plane could carry.

Plane can carry maximum 5 passengers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total amount of weight plane can carry = 2500 pounds

Amount of luggage weight = 1750 pounds

Average Weight of a passenger on plane = 150 pounds.

let, p be the number of passenger.

According to the question,

150p + 1750 ≤ 2500

150p ≤ 2500 - 1750

150p ≤ 750

p ≤ 5

Therefore, Plane can carry maximum 5 passengers.
