You have that Aniya earns $9 per hour of work. She work during 12 weeks.

Furthermore, you take into account that she works the following number of hours each day, each week:

- Monday = 4 hours

- Wedbesday = 5 hours

- Thursday = 5 hours

- Saturday = 3 hours

- Sunday = 3 hours

Then, per week Aniya works:

4 + 5 + 3 + 3 = 15

She works 15 hours per week. She works during 12 weeks, then, in such a time she works:

12(15) = 180

Then, she works 180 hours in 12 weeks.

Finally, in all that time she earns:

9(180) = 1620

Hence, she earns $1620
