The correct answer is 4 * x + 72 > 400.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dance committee of Pine Bluff Middle School earns $72 from a bake sale and will earn $4 for each ticket they sell to the Spring Fling dance.

The dance will cost $400.

Let x number of tickets the committee could sell.

Total money earned by the committee is 4 * x + 72.

The committee should have some left over money after spending for the spring fling dance which costs $400.

Thus the inequality to determine the number of tickets the committee needs to sell to have money left over after they pay for this year's dance is given by,

4 * x + 72 > 400.
