If you look on Amazon, you'll find a lot of basic USB-A hubs that have four or more USB 3.0 ports, and that have USB-C plugs on the upstream cable that plugs into your computer. Take your pick.
I would strongly recommend one that has its own power supply. The guidelines from USB-A days about it being easy for bus-powered USB-A devices to "oversubscribe" the 5V power available to an unpowered hub still apply.

Acer is a decent brand.

+1 on Servant fo Cats's recommendation. I never buy a USB hub that does not have it own power supply.
Too intense, overpriced, and socially engineered. What’s up with that? OP wants something basic, like https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-USB-Hubs/zgbs/pc/17387627011. Most under 10 bucks, no sale, no kidding 😁
