Answer:

$1,053

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of weeks in a year = 52

Each week, you bring home $135.

Therefore, the total income for the year will be:


\begin{gathered} =52*\$135 \\ =\$7,020 \end{gathered}

Since you have decided to save 15 percent of your income over the next year

The amount that will be saved will be:


\begin{gathered} =15\%\text{ of 7020} \\ =0.15*7020 \\ =\$1053 \end{gathered}
