Question

Ava is trying to save at least $200 from her summer job to buy new clothes for the coming school year. She has $75 saved. Which inequality below can be used to find x, the amount of money she still needs to save in order to reach her goal of at least $200?
x + 75 ≥ 200
75 + x ≤ 200
x + 75 < 200
75 + 200 ≥ x

Answer 1

To find the amount of money Ava still needs to save (denoted as \( x \)) to reach her goal of at least $200, we start with her current savings of $75.

The equation for her total savings is:

\[ x + 75 \geq 200 \]

This indicates that the amount she still needs to save (\( x \)) plus her current savings (\$75) must be at least \$200.

Thus, the correct inequality is:

**\( x + 75 \geq 200 \)**.
