Answer:x + 5y is greater than or equal too $50

Explanation:

If x is equal to the amount of $1 then there is no need for a coefficient. Being that y is represented as $5 there needs to be a coefficient of because it’s five dollars times however many you have. Then it is greater than or equal to $50 because the problem states there is at least $50 in the register.
