200*.75+1.25x>250
\n" ); document.write( "150+1.25x>250
\n" ); document.write( "1.25x>250-150
\n" ); document.write( "1.25x>100
\n" ); document.write( "x>100/1.25
\n" ); document.write( "x>80 minimum number of non sophomores are required to raise the $250 fee.
\n" ); document.write( "Proof:
\n" ); document.write( "200*.75+1.25*80>250
\n" ); document.write( "150+100=250
\n" ); document.write( "250=250 \n" ); document.write( "
