given a monthly income of $1,500, how do you determine the yearly salary this person will earn?
question 3 options:

a.1,500 x 12

b.1,500 + 12

c.1,500 - 12

d.1,500 / 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 12 months in a year, we need to multiply $1,500 by 12. To make this easy, I'll show the progression from month to month.

Multiplying is simply adding the same number a given number of times, in this case, 12. Here is a visual representation of multiplication.

1st month $1,500

add $1.500, result is same as $1,500 x 2

2nd month $3,000

add $1.500, result is same as $1,500 x 3

3rd month $4,500

add $1.500, result is same as $1,500 x 4

4th month $6,000

add $1.500, result is same as $1,500 x 5

5th month $7,500

add $1.500, result is same as $1,500 x 6

6th month $9,000

add $1.500, result is same as $1,500 x 7

7th month $10,500

add $1.500, result is same as $1,500 x 8

8th month $12,000

add $1.500, result is same as $1,500 x 9

9th month $13,500

add $1.500, result is same as $1,500 x 10

10th month $15,000

add $1.500, result is same as $1,500 x 11

11th month $16,500

add $1.500, result is same as $1,500 x 12

12th month $18,000
