To determine how much more weight can be added to Li's suitcase without exceeding the 50-pound weight limit, we need to set up an inequality that represents the situation.
Li's suitcase currently weighs 47.75 pounds, and we want to find the weight \( x \) that can be added without going over 50 pounds. This can be expressed mathematically as:
\[ 47.75 + x \leq 50 \]
So the correct inequality is:
**47.75 + x ≤ 50**
