Verified Answer :

Marisol must send fewer than 81 snack packs

Answer:

Marisol must send less than one snack pack.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the number of snack pack be 'x'.

As, the weight of 1 snack pack is 14 lb. Then, the weight of 'x' snack pack is \(14x\) lbs.

Also, it is given that there is a board game of weight 4 lb.

Since, the total weight of the package must be less than 25.

Thus, we get,

\(4+14x<25\)

i.e. \(14x<21\)

i.e. \(x<\frac{21}{14}\)

i.e. x < 1.5

Thus, the number of snack packs must be less than 1 (Since the snack pack cannot be in decimals).

Hence, Marisol must send less than one snack pack.
