Stefani needs to earn at least $250 for her trip to the upcoming softball tournament. she babysits 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's represent the amount Stefani needs to earn as x.

She already earned $48 from babysitting on Saturday night.

Therefore, the total amount she needs to earn is at least $250:

x + 48 ≥ 250

To find out how much more Stefani needs to earn, we need to solve for x:

x ≥ 250 - 48
x ≥ 202

So, Stefani needs to earn at least $202 more to reach her goal of $250.
