From Teddy's solution, the inequality 5X + 400 > 1000 can be interpreted as James earning more than $1000 this week. The solution to this inequality is X > 120, which means James would have to serve more than 120 customers to meet his goal of earning more than $1000. Teddy should interpret this solution as James needing to serve at least 121 customers to meet his goal.
