Answer 1

Let x represent the amount Stefani still needs to earn.

She has already earned $48, so the total amount she needs to earn is $250:

48 + x ≥ 250

Now, solve for x:

x ≥ 250 - 48
x ≥ 202

Therefore, Stefani needs to earn at least $202 more in order to reach her goal of $250 for the tournament.
