Answer:


10 + 2.50 w > 50

Explanation:

Given


Start =10


Rate = 2.50

Total = More than 50

Required

Represent as an inequality

Represent the weeks with w.

So, his savings in w weeks is:


Savings = Start + Rate * w


Savings = 10 + 2.50 * w


Savings = 10 + 2.50 w

His saving is expected to be more than 50.

More than, here means greater than (>)

So, we have;


Savings > 50


10 + 2.50 w > 50
