Answer 3

Allright I will walk you through it.

First we want to start with 4349.76 because that is the total she gets per month. Next we need to subtract 3/4 of her monthly pay and 1/12 of her pay too. Are you following?

Answer 4

Yes what else???

Answer 5

So Our equation is set up like this

4349.76 - (10/12*4349.76)= awnser

We can simplify the fraction into 10/12 because Remember how to set up your equation?

3/4 + 1/12=10/12

Answer 6

Otherwise our equation would be longer... Remember how to set up your equation?

4349.76 - ((3/4 * 4349.76) + (1/12*4349.76))
