Answer 1

Answer:

c.15L +55≥205

Step-by-step explanation:

More than means greater than or equal to and is represented by the symbol

≥

Michael earned $15 per lawn he mowed this month plus an additional $55 in tips. He earned more than $205 in total.

Hence,

$55 + $15 × L ≥ $205

55 + 15L ≥ 205

Therefore, the inequality that best represents the situation, where L represents the number of lawns Michael mowed this month is

Option c.15L +55 ≥ 205
