Answer:

15.5x - 300 >= 280

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the number of hours she works.

The amount of money she earns will be 15.50x

Her rent costs $300, so that value gets subtracted from the amount she earns. That makes our expression for how much money she earns:

15.5x - 300

This amount has to be over 280, so our inequality will be:

15.5x - 300 >= 280
