You need to spend at least $50 in one day to receive a store discount. You have already spent $30. Let s be the amount of money (in dollars) you can now spend to qualify

for the discount. Which inequality and solution represent this situation?
s+30<50; 8 < 20
s+30 ≤ 50; s ≤ 20
s+30> 50; 8 > 20
s+ 30 ≥ 50; 8 ≥ 20

Answer: s + 30 ≥ 50; s ≥ 20

Explanation:

let s be the amount you have yet to spend in order to reach $50 or more

you already have $30.

This means you need to spend at least $20 more ($50 - $30 = $20)

S can be greater than or equal to $20 because your total will be 50 or more, therefore qualifying for the discount.
