to find how much Alicia will earn for a job that takes 3 hours.(1 point).......

Answer 1

To find out how much Alicia will earn for a job that takes 3 hours, we can use the formula given:

\[ E = 65h + 100 \]

where:
- \( E \) is her total earnings,
- \( h \) is the number of hours worked.

Given \( h = 3 \):

\[ E = 65(3) + 100 \]

Now, calculate \( 65 \times 3 \):

\[ 65 \times 3 = 195 \]

Now, substitute this back into the equation:

\[ E = 195 + 100 \]

Now, add these amounts:

\[ E = 295 \]

Therefore, Alicia will earn **$295** for a job that takes 3 hours.
