[tex]y = 3600 * 12[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Breakdown of Monthly Budget

Required

Determine the equation that shows minimum earnings in a year

First, we need to get the sum of the given list of budgets:

[tex]Budget = 870 + 550 + 375 + 480 + 400+235+400 + 290[/tex]

[tex]Budget = 3600[/tex]

The are 12months in a a year; So, the yearly budget (y) is:

[tex]Yearly\ Budget = Monthly\ Budget * Duration[/tex]

[tex]Yearly\ Budget = 3600* 12[/tex]

i.e.

[tex]y = 3600 * 12[/tex]
