Answer:

The inequality 15m + 120 ≥ 200 represents the situation.

Explanation:

Given that:

Diego started savings account with $120.

Amount deposited each month = $15

Number of months = m

The least balance he wants to have = $200

Amount deposited each month * No. of months + Amount deposited at start ≥ Least amount of balance

15*m + 120 ≥ 200

15m + 120 ≥ 200

Hence,

The inequality 15m + 120 ≥ 200 represents the situation.
