To find Alicia's earnings for a job that takes 3 hours, we can use the formula for her earnings:

\[
E = 65h + 100
\]

where \( E \) is her total earnings and \( h \) is the number of hours worked. We will evaluate this formula for \( h = 3 \).

First, substitute \( h = 3 \) into the equation:

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

Now calculate \( 65(3) \):

\[
65 \times 3 = 195
\]

Now, substitute this value back into the equation:

\[
E = 195 + 100 = 295
\]

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