We need to write an inequality representing what Edward must sell to get his bonus.

Let's call x the number of hot dogs and y the number of sodas Edward sells.

Since each hot dog costs $3, and each soda costs $2, the total amount of dollars he will get in those sales is:


3x+2y

Also, this must be greater than or equal to 120 dollars for him to get his bonus.

Therefore, the inequality is:


3x+2y\ge120
