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
Let x be the amount Stefani needs to earn more.
The total amount she will have earned after babysitting is:
$48
The total amount she needs to earn is:
$250
The inequality that represents the situation is:
48 + x ≥ 250
To solve for x, we can subtract 48 from both sides:
x ≥ 250 - 48
x ≥ 202
Therefore, Stefani needs to earn at least $202 more to reach her goal of $250.
Let's represent the amount that Stefani needs to earn as "x".
The amount she earned from babysitting on Saturday night is $48.
To find out how much more Stefani needs to earn, we can set up an inequality by subtracting her earnings from the total amount she needs:
x - $48 ≥ $250
Now let's solve the inequality for "x":
x ≥ $250 + $48
x ≥ $298
Therefore, Stefani needs to earn at least $298 to reach her goal of $250.
