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.(2 points)
____
Let x represent the amount Stefani still needs to earn.
Given:
- Stefani already earned $48 from babysitting
- She needs to earn at least $250
Inequality:
48 + x ≥ 250
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.
