Answer:

The inequality 2.50x>40.00 represents the number of lunches needed to be purchased for the monthly lunch pass to be a better deal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Cost of each lunch = $2.50

Cost of monthly lunch pass = $40.00

Number of lunches = x

For making the monthly pass a better deal, the cost of lunches should be greater than the cost of monthly lunches, therefore

Cost of lunch * Number of lunches > Cost of monthly lunch pass

2.50x > 40.00

Hence,

The inequality 2.50x>40.00 represents the number of lunches needed to be purchased for the monthly lunch pass to be a better deal.
