Let
t--------> the amount Thomas earned in dollars
we know that
Thomas earned
or more
so
![t\geq \$49](/tpl/images/0494/8909/9b883.png)
The solution of the inequality is the interval------------> [49,β)
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
The solution is the shaded area
therefore
the answer is Β the option
![t\geq \$49](/tpl/images/0494/8909/9b883.png)
![T< 49 let t = the amount thomas earned. thomas earned $49 or more. t β€ 49 t β₯ 49 t > 49 t &](/tpl/images/0494/8909/f448b.jpg)
