Kim earns $30 for babysitting on Friday nights. She makes an average of $1.25 in tips per hour. Write the function of Kim's earnings, and solve for how much she would make after 3 hours.
Set up the earnings equation E(h) where h is the number of hours. We have the function:
E(h) = 1.25h + 30
The problem asks for E(3):
E(3) = 1.25(3) + 30
E(3) = 4.75 + 30
E(3) = $34.75
