To raise money for after-school programs at an elementary school, a group of parents is holding a weekend of games in a community center. They charge $8 per person for entry into the event. The group would like to earn at least $600, after paying for the cost of renting the space, which is $40 an hour. If x represents the number of entry tickets sold and y represents the hours of space rental, which inequality represents the constraints in the situation? Group of answer choices: 8x - 40y ≥ 600
