Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Thursday's earnings

Sophie works 2 hours cutting hair on Thursday. Let \( c \) be the rate per hour for cutting hair. So Thursday's earnings: \( 2c \).

Step2: Analyze Friday's earnings

Friday is at the reception desk. Assume the reception desk pay is a flat rate of 115 (since no variable, it's a constant). So Friday's earnings: \( 115 \).

Step3: Analyze Saturday's earnings

Sophie works 5 hours cutting hair on Saturday. So Saturday's earnings: \( 5c \).

Step4: Total earnings

Sum Thursday, Friday, and Saturday earnings: \( 2c + 115 + 5c \).

Answer:

\( 2c + 115 + 5c \) (the second option in the top row, or the third option overall: \( 2c + 115 + 5c \))
