Optional: Challenge:
The elevator in Melissa's apartment building has a sign that says,
"Weight not to exceed 800 pounds." Every time Melissa rides in the
elevator, she reads the sign and wonders how many people could
take the elevator and still stay under the limit. She decides to collect
some information by asking her brothers, mother, and some of her neighbors about their
weights.
They give her this information:
Melissa:
70 lbs.
Richard:
I weigh the same as Zeke, our dog.
Steve:
In Roman numerals, I weigh LXXXV lbs.
Mom:
I weigh twice as much as you do.
Mr. Tristano:
I used to weigh 180 lbs., but I lost 15 lbs.
Daniella Tristano: I weigh 20 lbs. more than half of my dad's old weight.
Zeke:
190 lbs. minus Mom's weight.
If they all get into the elevator together, how close are they to the allowance?
