First thing we need to do is multiply 47854 x 12, since there are 12 months in a year. This way we know how much they will make in 1 year. That gives us 574248 for 1 year. Now, it needs to know how much in 6 years, so we multiply 574248 x 6. That will give you 3445488. 3445488 is your answer. Another way you could solve this is 47854 x 72, since we know there are 72 months in 6 years.
