Answer 1

3 years, and $1120 for each year.

Explanation:

I think you worded the question wrong, because the wording says how many years did she receive pension, which is 3. However, you can find the amount per year by dividing the total she got with the amount of years.

3360/3 = 1120

$1120 is the amount she earned per year for her service.
