The charges for the first ounce = $0.34
Charges for each additional ounce = $0.23
Let the number of additional ounces be n
The maximum total charges = $8.27
The inequality that represents the given illustration is:
0.34 + 0.23n ≤ 8.27
0.23n ≤ 8.27 - 0.34
0.23n ≤ 7.93
n ≤ 7.93 / 0.23
n ≤ 34.48
Maximum number of whole ounces = Number of additional ouces + Initial ounce
Maximum number of whole ounces = 34.48 + 1
Maximum number of whole ou
