Let x represent the amount that she needs to save each month for the next year.

Stephanie is saving money to buy a new computer. So far she has saved $200. This means that the total amount that she would have saved in y months is

200 + xy

Since there are 12 months in a year,

an inequality to show how much she needs to save each month for the next year so she has at least $1200 to spend on the computer is

200 + 12x ≥ 1200

12x ≥ 1200 - 200

12x ≥ 1000

x ≥ 1000/12

x ≥ 83.33
