You have the right idea and you are close to the correct answer. However that's not what your teacher is looking for in terms of steps.
The starting inequality is
She starts off selling 8 buckets. Then she sells b more to get a total of b+8
This total must be 20 or larger which is why I set b+8 greater than or equal to 20
Solve for b by subtracting 8 from both sides
So she needs to sell at least 12 more buckets to reach her goal
If you graphed this on a number line, then you would draw a closed circle at 12. Then shade to the right of the close circle.

Answer:
To earn $10 in 1st month, the principal must be $4,000.
No, the poster cannot claim that "Open an account of $2 comma 500 and earn at least $10 interest in 1 month!".
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that a bank manager wants to encourage new customers to open accounts with principals of at least $2,500. He decides to make a poster advertising a simple interest rate of 3%. We are asked to find the principal to advertise that one can earn $10 the first month.
We will use simple interest formula to solve our given problem.
, where,
I = Amount of interest,
P = Principal amount,
r = Annual interest rate in decimal form,
t = Time in years.
1 month will be equal to .
Therefore, to earn $10 in 1st month, the principal must be $4,000.
Now, we will check if an account of $2,500 can earn at least $10 interest in 1 month.
Since the account earns an amount of $6.25 in one month, therefore, the poster is not true.
