Answer with Explanation:

Annual Gross Salary of Laura = $ 44184

Monthly Salary of Laura


=(44184)/(12)\\\\=3682

We will use
(28)/(36) rule here, which states that ,28% of monthly income should be used for housing expenses and 36% of gross income should be used for different debt purposes.

28% of $3682


=(28)/(100) * 3682\\\\=(103096)/(100)\\\\=1030.96

Maximum amount of rent , that Laura can afford to pay, having gross salary of $ 44184 = $ 1030.96
