Answer 2

Hey,
Lets see...
She contributed $95 per month toward her 401k account and her employer matched 19% of that.
So were basically looking for that 19% her employer matched and then we can add what she contributed with what her employer contributed and get the total amount contributed to her 401k.

First lets find out what she contributed to her 401k by multiplying $95 by 12 months.
\[95\times12=1,140\]
So she contributed $1,140.
Now lets find that 19% of $1,140.
After working it all out we find that the 19% is \[216\]
Now all thats left to do is add!
