Stefani needs to earn at least $250 for her trip to the upcoming softball tournament. She babysits on Saturday night and earns $48. Write and solve an inequality to show how much more Stefani needs to earn. Show your work…

Answer 1

Let x represent the additional amount Stefani needs to earn.

$48 (babysitting earnings) + x (additional earnings) ≥ $250

x ≥ $250 - $48
x ≥ $202

So, Stefani needs to earn at least $202 more for her trip.
