B. 125x + 5,000 > 25,000

Cloe Parker · Answer 2

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The school wants to make $25,000 therefore they need to make more than $25,000. This means that it cant be A or D.

Each student need to make x amount of money and there is 125 students so the students in total need to make 125 therefore B is correct.
