P-30 is less than or equal to 12.3
----------------------------
|p-30| <= 12.3
-12.3 <= p-30 <= 12.3
17.7 <= p <= 42.3
-----------------------
if 580 seniors graduate from this school, what is the range for the number of graduates planning to enlist?
0.177*580 < number < 0.423*580
102.66 <= number <= 245
