To solve the inequality 3r - 47.5 > 21.5, we need to isolate r.
Adding 47.5 to both sides of the inequality, we get:
3r > 69
Dividing both sides of the inequality by 3, we get:
r > 23
Therefore, any value of r greater than 23 will make the inequality 3r - 47.5 > 21.5 a true statement.
The only value given that is greater than 23 is 23.5.
So, the correct answer is 23.5.
