Explanation:

75.00 - 25.00 = 50.00

50.00 / 20.00 = 2.50

So, she needs to mow 2.5 lawns or more to have enough money to buy the skateboard.

The inequality can be expressed as:

20.00 * x >= 50.00

x >= 2.50

So, the inequality "x >= 2.50" can be used to determine the number of lawns she needs to mow to have enough money to buy the skateboard.
