The school band is raising money for new instruments. They currently have $200 saved from previous fundraisers. Each month, they raise an additional $300 from their fundraising efforts. They want to have more than $800 to purchase the instruments. Solve an inequality that can be used to solve for the number of months, m, that the school band will need to raise enough money. Set up your inequality and write your answer in sentence form.
200 + 300m > 800
m > 2 -- They need to raise money for more than 2 months
