Answer: 3x + 28 > 200

Step-by-step explanation:

$$$Let $x$ be the amount each friend received. Since there are 3 friends, then $3 x$ is the amount of money they split evenly. The amount of money they split evenly was the amount left over after paying their parent's $\$ 28$. Therefore $3 x+28$ is the total amount they earned.$
