x + 25.75 ≥ 53.8

x ≥ 53.88 -25.75

x ≥ 28.13

Explanation:

According to the question,Tania has already saved $25.75. She needs at least $53.88 to buy a set of headphones. Write and solve an inequality that shows how much more she needs to earn to buy headphones.

If Tania already has $25.75 in her possession and she has to save a minimum of $53.88 dollars in order to be able to purchase her headphones,the remaining amount of money left for her to save up will be

x + 25.75 ≥ 53.88

x ≥ 53.88 -25.75

x ≥ 28.13

The above is the amount left for her to save up so as to be able to purchase the headphones she desires.
