answer choices
less than
greater than
less than or equal to
greater than or equal to

Explanation:

Step1: Define inequality for remaining money

$400 - 5x \geq 250$

Step2: Isolate the term with x

$-5x \geq 250 - 400$
$-5x \geq -150$

Step3: Solve for x (reverse inequality)

$x \leq \frac{-150}{-5}$
$x \leq 30$

Answer:

$x$ less than or equal to 30
