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. write it like a 4th grader and make it short
To go to the softball tournament, Stefani needs at least $250. She already made $48 from babysitting.
Let's say she still needs to earn x dollars.
We can write this as an inequality:
$48 + x ≥ $250
Now let's solve for x...
$48 + x ≥ $250
x ≥ $250 - $48
x ≥ $202
Stefani needs to earn at least $202 more.
