Answer:

y > 75

Explanation:

Given that:

Starting number of boxes = > 100

Number of boxes sold = 25

Number of boxes left after selling 25

Let the number of boxes left = y

y = starting number of boxes - Numbe rof boxes sold

y = 100 - 25

y = 75

Since the starting number of boxes is more than 100

Then, y should also be more than 75

y > 75
