Answer 2

Answer:

$19,500$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Mara receives $765 a month and an additional $860 a month.

Since there are 12 months in a year, we multiply how many she gets each month by 12:

$765 * 12$

$==> 9,180$

$860 * 12$

$==> 10,320$

So since we know that we now have 9,180 and 10,320 dollars in total right now, we must add them together to get the final sum:

$10,320 + 9180$

$==> 19,500$
