Alicia works for Thomas Edison Electrical Company. She earns $100 for going to a customer’s house and $65 per hour, h , for the job. This is modeled by 65h+100 . Evaluate for h=3 to find how much Alicia will earn for a job that takes 3 hours.

Answer 1

To find out how much Alicia will earn for a job that takes 3 hours, we can substitute \( h = 3 \) into the equation \( 65h + 100 \).

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

Substituting \( h = 3 \):

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

Calculating \( 65(3) \):

\[ 65(3) = 195 \]

Now, add 100:

\[ \text{Earnings} = 195 + 100 = 295 \]

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