Answer:

True

Explanation:

given statement

The coffee shop owner’s goal was to seek at least 100 lattes.

It means that coffee shop owner can seek any value for lattes but minimum should be 100.

For example, the value of latte could be 100, 101, 102, 105, 110 , 150, 550 etc

but it can not have value less than 100 i.e 99, 98 , 80 , 9 etc.

Also ≥ sign represent greater than or equal to

If it is assumed no. of lattes is represented by X

then X should be 100 100 or any number greater than hundred.

mathematically we can represent x equal to 100 as X = 100 ---A

also x greater than hundred as X > 100 ----B

combining both A and B together we have

x≥100 which is as given in problem statement.

Hence inequality x≥100 is true
