A pharmacist is filling small empty bottles with cough syrup from a larger bottle. He can solve the inequality to find the number of small bottles, x, that can be filled from the larger bottle and still have 250 milliliters left in the larger bottle. Which statement describes the number of small bottles the pharmacist can fill?

Respuesta :

Let us assume capacity of large bottle = 1000 ml.

And capacity of each small bottle = 25 ml.

Reaming milliliters in large bottle = 250 milliliters.

Number of bottles = x bottles.

Total capacity of large bottle - capacity of a small bottle Ă— number of bottles > Reamining milliliters in large bottle.

Therefore, we can setup an inequality.

1000 - 25 Ă— x > 250.

1000 -25x >250.
