A)
What inequality describes the situation?
Let t = the amount Thomas earned. Thomas earned $49 or more.
(1 point)
t ≤ 49
t ≥ 49
t > 49
t < 49
t ≥ 49
The correct inequality to describe the situation is: t ≥ 49. This means that the amount Thomas earned, denoted by t, is greater than or equal to $49.
To find the inequality that describes the situation, we need to consider the given information that Thomas earned $49 or more.
The symbol ≤ represents "less than or equal to," while ≥ represents "greater than or equal to." The symbol > represents "greater than," and < represents "less than."
Since Thomas earned $49 or more, the correct inequality is t ≥ 49. This is because t, the amount Thomas earned, must be equal to or greater than 49.
