Can I use the expression "or below" as the opposite of "and above"?
I wonder if I can use the expression "or below" as the opposite of "and above". Because, I found in the dictionary:
above
greater in number, level or age
But, I didn't find a similar definition for "below".
Can I write:
Getting 85% or below on this test will make you fail this course.
increase of 5% or below
A score of 70 or below will get you an 'C'
children aged 12 or below
??
