Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Let x represent the additional amount that Stefani needs to earn.

The total amount Stefani needs to earn is at least $250, including the $48 she earns from babysitting on Saturday night.

Therefore, the inequality can be expressed as:
$x \geq 250 - 48$

Solving for x:
$x \geq 202$

Stefani needs to earn at least $202 more to reach her goal of $250 for the trip.
