Answer:

yearly salary = $54,708

Explanation:

Let monthly salary be x

Let yearly salary be y

Let number of months be n

To estimate your average monthly salary, divide your yearly salary by the number of months in a year. This can be written as

x = y divided by n


x = (y)/(n)

Therefore, writing an equation to determine yearly salary is the same as making the yearly salary 'y' the subject of the formula above:


x = (y)/(n)\\cross-multiplying\\n\ *\ x= y\\y\ =\ nx

where y = ???

x = $4,559

n = 12 months


y = 4,559\ *\ 12 \\= \$\ 54,708

Therefore yearly salary = $54,708
