and $65 per hour, for the job. This is modeled by . Evaluate for
to find how much Alicia will earn for a job that takes 3 hours.
hℎ 65h + 100 65ℎ + 100
h = 3 ℎ = 3

Answer 1

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

\[
E = 65h + 100
\]

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

Now, substituting \( h = 3 \) into the formula:

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

Calculating \( 65(3) \):

\[
65 \times 3 = 195
\]

Now, add 100 to that amount:

\[
E = 195 + 100 = 295
\]

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