Acompany did a quality check on all the packs of roasted almonds it manufactured. each pack of roasted almonds is targeted to weigh 21.25 oz. a pack must weigh within 0.24 oz of the target weight to be accepted. what is the range of rejected masses, x, for the manufactured roasted almonds?
x < 21.01 or x > 21.49 because |x - 0.24| + 21.25 > 0
x < 21.25 or x > 21.49 because |x - 21.25| > 0.24
x < 21.01 or x > 21.49 because |x - 21.25| > 0.24
x < 21.25 or x > 21.49 because |x - 0.24| + 21.25 > 0

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Targeted to weight of each pack of roasted almonds = 21.25 oz.

A pack must weight within 0.24 oz of the target weight to be accepted.

It means weight more than or less than 0.24 oz of target weight is rejected. So the absolute difference between weight and target weight must be more than 0.24 oz.

Let x be the weight of roasted almonds.

or

or

or

The range of rejected masses, x, for the manufactured roasted almonds is x < 21.01 or x > 21.49 because |x - 21.25| > 0.24.

Therefore, the correct option is C.
