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 :

Answer:

1000 -25x >250.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the capacity of a large bottle = 1000 ml.

And the capacity of each small bottle = 25 ml.

Reaming milliliters in large bottles = 250 milliliters.

Number of bottles = x bottles.

The total capacity of the large bottle - capacity of a small bottle × number of bottles > Remaining milliliters in a large bottle.

Therefore, we can set up an inequality.

1000 - 25 × x > 250.

1000 -25x >250.
