.

Let x be the minimum number of cups of lemonade.


Then the inequality for "n" is


    2.50*x - 12.50 >= 200  dollars.


From this inequality,  


    x >=  = 85.


ANSWER.  Ashley needs to sell at least 85 cups of lemonade: it is the minimum number.

I have bought lemonade from kids at a stand.
Sometimes for $0.50, sometimes for $2.
I would never drink it.
==============
If they offered it mixed with vodka (would kill some germs) I would pay more, and I would drink.
Kids could make a lot of money with that combo, or, could have.
Not now, with the virus.

Maybe bleach and vodka?
Imbibed under a "sun lamp," a UV source?
