1 answer
To model the situation where the law clerk has earned more than $40,000 since being hired, we need to define a variable \( s \) as the law clerk's salary. Since the law clerk has earned "more than" $40,000, we would express this with the inequality:
\[ s > 40,000 \]
Therefore, the correct choice is:
A. \( s > 40,000 \)
