Solve the problem.A boat has a capacity of 3000 pounds. If a passenger averages 160 pounds, and a piece of cargo averages 50 pounds, write an inequality that describes when x passengers and y pieces of cargo will cause the boat to be overloaded. Graph the inequality. Because x and y must be positive, limit the graph to quadrant I only.

A. 160x + 50y < 3000

B. 160x + 50y ? 3000

C. 160x + 50y > 3000

D. 160x + 50y ? 3000
