Let x represent the amount of money Stefani still needs to earn.

Given that she earns $48 from babysitting, the total amount she has earned so far is 48.

To calculate how much she still needs to earn, we subtract the total amount she has earned from the amount she needs to earn.

So the inequality representing this situation is:
48 + x ≥ 250

Now, we solve for x:
x ≥ 250 - 48
x ≥ 202

Therefore, Stefani still needs to earn at least $202 more for her trip to the softball tournament.
Shorter bro?
$48 + x ≥ $250
x ≥ $250 - $48
x ≥ $202

Stefani still needs to earn at least $202 more for her trip.
Little bit longer?
Sure! Stefani has already earned $48 from babysitting on Saturday night. She needs to earn at least $250 for her trip to the upcoming softball tournament. To find out how much more she still needs to earn, we can set up an inequality where x represents the additional amount she needs to earn. The inequality is written as:

$48 + x ≥ $250

We then solve for x by subtracting $48 from both sides of the inequality:

x ≥ $250 - $48
x ≥ $202

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