Answer:

42 + 2n ≥ 80

Explanation:

Given,

Naomi's earnings for one day = $ 42,

Also, she earns extra $2 for each CD she sells,

Thus, the extra earning for n CDs = 2n dollars,

So, her total earning for a day if she sells n CDs = ( 42 + 2n ) dollars,

If Naomi wants to earn at least $80 per day,

Her total earning ≥ 80 dollars,

42 + 2n ≥ 80

Which is the required inequality.
