Answer:


x\geq 15

Explanation:

Samuel wants at least 15 grams

Let's expand on "at least 15"

It means that Samuel wants no less than 15, but 15 or more

It could be 16, but not 14

To create an inequality, 15 or more can be written as
x\geq 15 (x is 15 more more)

The answer is
x\geq 15

Hope this helps :)

Have a nice day!
