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's use x to represent how much more money Stefani needs to earn.
We can set up the inequality:
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 assume the amount Stefani still needs to earn is represented by the variable x.
Based on the information provided, we know that Stefani has already earned $48 from babysitting. Therefore, the inequality to represent how much more Stefani needs to earn can be written as:
48 + x ≥ 250
To solve this inequality, we need to isolate the variable x. Subtracting 48 from both sides of the inequality, we get:
x ≥ 250 - 48
Simplifying further:
x ≥ 202
So, Stefani needs to earn at least $202 more for her trip to the softball tournament.
