1 answer

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

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

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

Now, we will substitute \( h = 3 \) into the formula:

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

Calculating this step-by-step:

  1. Calculate \( 65 \times 3 \): \[ 65 \times 3 = 195 \]

  2. Now add 100 to the result: \[ 195 + 100 = 295 \]

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