To model the situation where the law clerk has earned no less than $25,000 since being hired, we define the variable \( s \) as the law clerk's salary. The phrase "no less than" indicates that the salary is at least $25,000 or more.
Thus, the correct inequality to model this situation is:
**A. \( s \geq 25,000 \)**
This indicates that \( s \) is greater than or equal to $25,000.
Thus, the correct inequality to model this situation is:
**A. \( s \geq 25,000 \)**
This indicates that \( s \) is greater than or equal to $25,000.
