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.
She has already earned $48, so the total amount she needs to earn is $250:
48 + x ≥ 250
Now, solve for x:
x ≥ 250 - 48
x ≥ 202
Therefore, Stefani needs to earn at least $202 more in order to reach her goal of $250 for the tournament.
