Question

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

\[ E = 65h + 100 \]

where \( E \) is her total earnings and \( h \) is the number of hours worked. We will evaluate this formula for \( h = 3 \).

First, substitute \( h = 3 \) into the equation:

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

Now calculate \( 65(3) \):

\[ 65 \times 3 = 195 \]

Now, substitute this value back into the equation:

\[ E = 195 + 100 = 295 \]

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