Question

A cat adoption facility takes in an average of 6 cats per day. The facility has to keep their cat occupancy below 300. Currently, the facility has 252 cats. If none of their cats get adopted, how many more days, x, can the facility continue to take in cats?
A.
x < 5
B.
x < 42
C.
x < 50
D.
x < 8

Answer 1

Let x be the number of days. After x days there will be 252 + 6x cats. Require 252 + 6x < 300.

6x < 48 → x < 8.

So answer D.
