Determine the inequality symbol that corresponds with the statement.
p ≤ 170
It is given that the maximum capacity of the pool is 600 people. This means 600 or fewer people can be in the pool at one time. It is also given that there are currently 430 people in the pool. We can determine the number of additional people that can enter the pool by subtracting 430 from 600. If we let p be the number of additional people that can enter, we have the following inequality. p ≤ 600-430 ⇔ p ≤ 170
