The inequality that describes the situation is t ≥ 49.
To describe the situation where Thomas earned $49 or more, we can use the inequality t ≥ 49.
Explanation:
The inequality symbol ≥ represents "greater than or equal to." In this case, we want to express that the amount Thomas earned, represented by t, is greater than or equal to $49. This means that t can be $49 or any amount greater than $49.
