Help with algebra (inequalities) question

Two girls want to start a lawn mowing business for the summer. They plan to buy a power mower for $200, and they hope to charge $8.50 an hour. 
 
Determine how many hours the girls will have to work to make more than $200 for the summer
 
 
So far I only have 8.50h - 200  I'm confused on how to set this up.

I am considering they need to earn more than $200 .(that means after recovering the cost of power mower they have to earn  more than $200
