Jada has challenged herself to do at least 100 full push-ups this week. On Sunday, she does 30 push-ups. Her arms are sore, so she decides to do fewer push-ups on the remaining days of the week. She wants to do the same number of push-ups each day for the rest of the week. Write and solve an inequality for the number of push-ups Jada needs to do each day for the rest of the week to meet her goal of 100 push-ups. Which answer choice best interprets the solution in the context of the problem?(1 point)

Let x be the number of push-ups Jada needs to do each day for the rest of the week.
Since there are 7 days in a week and she has already done 30 push-ups, the equation representing the total number of push-ups she will do is:
30 + 7x ≥ 100
Subtract 30 from both sides:
7x ≥ 70
Divide both sides by 7:
x ≥ 10
Therefore, Jada needs to do at least 10 push-ups each day for the rest of the week to meet her goal.
The answer choice that best interprets the solution in the context of the problem is:
