Explanation:

In this question, I see an outlier. Most of the time you may want to solve the inequality, but check how the answers are phrased in relation to the inequality. The equation shows a > symbol.

Answer A states, "save at least $72." If the inequality used a greater than or equal to sign this could work, yet it uses a > symbol. I would go with B & C, if you haven't chosen already.
