Question

To estimate your average monthly salary, divide your yearly salary by the number of months in a year. Write and solve an equation to determine your yearly salary when your average monthly salary is $4,559.

Answer 1

Answer:

yearly salary = $54,708

Step-by-step 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

$x = \frac{y}{n}$

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

$x = \frac{y}{n}\\cross-multiplying\\n\ \times\ x= y\\y\ =\ nx$

where y = ???

x = $4,559

n = 12 months

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

Therefore yearly salary = $54,708
