Daquan has $500 in a savings account at the beginning of the school year. He wants to keep at least $200 in the account by December for Christmas presents. If he withdraws $25 each week for clothes and movie tickets, write and solve an inequality to determine how many weeks can he withdraw money from his account?

The inequality would be 500 is greater than or equal to 200+25x. Then x=12. First subtract 200 from 500 then divide 300 by 25.
