The answer is:
b\geq5,000 and the graph is attached.

The explanation is shown below:

1. You must use the information given in the problem to write the inequality.

2.
b represents the number of box tops for the fundraiser. Based on the information, the value of
b must be greater than or equal to 5,000 box tops. Therefore, you have that the inequality is:


b\geq5,000

3. Then, you obtain the graph attached. As you can see, you must use a closed circle for ≥.
