Answer with explanation:

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

Total Annual Salary = $ 18,920

Monthly salary
=(18920)/(12)

→→28% of 18,920


=(28)/(100)* (18920)/(12)\\\\=(529760)/(100* 12)=441.4666\\\\=441.47

Option B: $ 441.47
