Question

The high score for a video game is 36,480. Your current score is 34,280. Each dragonfly you catch is worth 1 point. You also get a 1000-point bonus for reaching 35,000 points. Select an inequality that represents the number d of dragonflies you must catch to earn a new high score. Then solve the inequality.

Which one of these?

Answer 1

I hope I got this correct.

Explanation:

I believe this is the 4th choice.

Because...

35,000 + d + 1000
`\geq` 36,480

36,000 + d
`\geq` 36,480

d
`\geq` 480

that means you will have to catch 480 dragonflies after you reach the 35,000 mark plus the 1,000 points when you reach there. I know you didn't need those numbers, but I didn't know any other way to explain :)
