To determine how much more weight can be added to Li's suitcase without exceeding the 50-pound weight limit, we set up the inequality based on the current weight of the suitcase (47.75 pounds) plus the additional weight (x).
The appropriate inequality is:
\[ 47.75 + x \leq 50 \]
This means that the total weight of the suitcase (current weight plus additional weight) must be less than or equal to 50 pounds to avoid the extra fee.
So, the correct response is:
**47.75 + x ≤ 50** (47 point 7 5 plus x is less than or equal to 50).
The appropriate inequality is:
\[ 47.75 + x \leq 50 \]
This means that the total weight of the suitcase (current weight plus additional weight) must be less than or equal to 50 pounds to avoid the extra fee.
So, the correct response is:
**47.75 + x ≤ 50** (47 point 7 5 plus x is less than or equal to 50).
