Part A
Write an inequality to find the possible number of students, n, who eat the school lunch
Part B

Answer:
Part A
The number of student that possibly eat lunch in school > 530 students
Part B
The number of students, n, that possibly eat lunch at school is 531 or more students
Explanation:

The number of students who bring lunch, B > 485 students
The number of student who eat lunch in school, E = B + 45
∴ E > 485 + 45
The number of student that possibly eat lunch in school, E > 530 students
Part B
The number of students, n, that possibly eat lunch at school, n = 531 or more students.
