Answer 1

To fill in the table, we need to calculate the amount of money Bria would have in her account after each number of hours she babysits. She starts with $8 and earns $12 for each hour she works.

Here's the calculation for each case:

- **0 hours**: \( 8 + (12 \times 0) = 8 \)
- **1 hour**: \( 8 + (12 \times 1) = 8 + 12 = 20 \)
- **2 hours**: \( 8 + (12 \times 2) = 8 + 24 = 32 \)
- **3 hours**: \( 8 + (12 \times 3) = 8 + 36 = 44 \)

Now we can fill in the table:

| Number of hours | Dollars in account |
|------------------|--------------------|
| 0 | 8 |
| 1 | 20 |
| 2 | 32 |
| 3 | 44 |

So after babysitting for 0, 1, 2, and 3 hours, Bria would have $8, $20, $32, and $44 respectively in her account.
