Please help!

Will wants to have more than $500 by the end of the summer. He already has $84, and he can work for 8 weeks over the summer. Will gets paid the same amount each week.

Which of the following represents the amount of money he must earn each week?
x ≥ $52
x > $52
x ≥ $63
x > $63

Answer 1

x>52

Explanation:

8x + 84 = 500
8x = 416
x = 52

So if he wants to earn more than 500 dollars, he needs to make more than 52 dollars a week.
