Write and solve an inequality using the information about Noah.

Noah's apartment building has a washing machine that uses a card for payment. His family likes to keep a minimum balance on the card. How many loads of laundry can Noah's family do before needing to add money to the card?

Each load of laundry costs $1.65.
Noah's family likes to make sure that the balance on the card is at least $15, at which point they add money to the card.
There is $50 on the card right now.
