The ninth grade class at a local high school needs to purchase a park permit for $250.00 for their upcoming class picnic. Each ninth grader attending the picnic pays $0.75. Each guest pays $1.25. If 200 ninth graders attend the picnic, which inequality can be used to determine the number of guests, x, needed to cover the cost of the permit?

• $0.75x-\left(1.25\right)\left(200\right)\ge\text{250.00}$

• $0.75x+\left(1.25\right)\left(200\right)\ge250.00$

• $\left(0.75\right)\left(200\right)-1.25x\ge250.00$

• $\left(0.75\right)\left(200\right)+1.25x\ge250.00$
