To solve the inequality \(8x - 7 \geq 97\), we will isolate \(x\).
1. Start with the inequality:
\[
8x - 7 \geq 97
\]
2. Add 7 to both sides:
\[
8x \geq 97 + 7
\]
\[
8x \geq 104
\]
3. Divide both sides by 8:
\[
x \geq \frac{104}{8}
\]
\[
x \geq 13
\]
Thus, India would have to sell **at least 13 plates** of food to reach her goal of $97.
