An elevator has a maximum weight of 3000 pounds. How many 150-pound people can safely ride the elevator? (Use "p" to represent the number of people)

Maximum means less than or equal to. We have the inequality:
150p <= 3000

To solve this inequality for p, we type it in our search engine and we get:
p <= 20
