Question

Mara lives on a fixed income. She receives $765 from her pension fund each month. She also gets $860 a month from Social Security. How much does Mara receive in a year?​

Answer 1

`19,500`

Explanation:

We know that Mara receives $765 a month and an additional $860 a month.

Since there are 12 months in a year, we multiply how many she gets each month by 12:

`765 * 12`

`==> 9,180`

`860 * 12`

`==> 10,320`

So since we know that we now have 9,180 and 10,320 dollars in total right now, we must add them together to get the final sum:

`10,320 + 9180`

`==> 19,500`

Answer 2

11,080

Explanation:

Add 765 and 860 together. Then multiply the answer by 12 for 12 months in a year. You get 11,080
