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

Answer 1

Let x be the amount Stefani still needs to earn in order to reach at least $250.

We can write this as an inequality:
48 + x ≥ 250

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

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