Answer 1

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

\[
\text{Total Earnings} = 65h + 100
\]

where \( h \) is the number of hours worked.

Now, substituting \( h = 3 \):

\[
\text{Total Earnings} = 65(3) + 100
\]
\[
= 195 + 100
\]
\[
= 295
\]

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