To solve this problem, we first need to calculate Ashley's hourly rate of pay, which is assumed to be constant. We can find this rate using the provided data.

### Step 1: Determine the hourly rate
The table shows three time and earnings pairs:
- 18 hours → $514.80
- 23 hours → $657.80
- 31 hours → $886.60

We can calculate the rate for each of these pairs to confirm it's consistent.

#### For 18 hours:
\[
\text{Hourly rate} = \frac{514.80}{18} = 28.60 \, \text{dollars per hour}
\]

#### For 23 hours:
\[
\text{Hourly rate} = \frac{657.80}{23} = 28.60 \, \text{dollars per hour}
\]

#### For 31 hours:
\[
\text{Hourly rate} = \frac{886.60}{31} = 28.60 \, \text{dollars per hour}
\]

The hourly rate is consistent at $28.60 per hour.

### Step 2: Calculate earnings for 11.25 hours
Now that we know the hourly rate, we can calculate how much Ashley would make in 11.25 hours.

\[
\text{Earnings} = 28.60 \times 11.25 = 321.75
\]

### Final Answer:
Ashley would earn **$321.75** for working 11.25 hours.
