Answer: $50

Step-by-step explanation: Draw a line through the apparent center of the scattered dots. See where that line intersects 9 in the time scale (x-axis numbers) and the dollars earned scale (y-axis numbers)

It could be 50 or 55, but since there are a few more dots below the apparent midline, it may be best to use the lower estimate.
