To solve this inequality, we must set up an equation that represents the situation described.

The family must bring m dollars to the amusement park. After paying the $5 parking fee, they will have at least $21 left to spend. We can represent this situation with the following equation:

m - 5 ≥ 21

To solve for m, we first add 5 to both sides of the inequality:

m - 5 + 5 ≥ 21 + 5
m ≥ 26

Therefore, the family must bring at least $26 to the amusement park so they will have at least $21 to spend after paying a $5 parking fee.
