Can someone help?

I need to write a word problem that matches the inequality:
ax + b > c.
You don't have to write the word problem I just need some ideas.

One idea is:

Paul wants to buy an iphone X. He has savings of $100 to start with. Local McDonalds pays $7 per hour (after tax) to students on summer break for helping out at the counter. The iphone costs $1000. At least how many hours does Paul need to work at McDonalds to be able to afford the iphone.

So, that matches ax+b>c in that

a is the hourly earning

b is the initial savings

c is the price of the iphone
