To determine how much more weight \( x \) can be added to Li's suitcase without exceeding the 50-pound weight limit, we want the total weight to be less than or equal to 50 pounds.

Since Li's suitcase currently weighs 47.75 pounds, the appropriate inequality to represent this situation is:

\[ 47.75 + x \leq 50 \]

This means you can add weight \( x \) as long as the total does not exceed 50 pounds.

So the correct response is:

**47.75 + x ≤ 50**.
