    Total Monthly payment = $1,900

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Annual earning = $72,000

    PITI (Principal, Interest, Taxes, Insurance) = 1/3 of Gross Monthly income

    Monthly expenses = $100

    Computation:

    Gross Monthly income = Annual earning / 12

    Gross Monthly income = $72,000 / 12

    Gross Monthly income = $6,000

    PITI (Principal, Interest, Taxes, Insurance) = 1/3 of Gross Monthly income

    PITI (Principal, Interest, Taxes, Insurance) = 1/3 * ($6,000)

    PITI (Principal, Interest, Taxes, Insurance) = $2,000

    Total Monthly payment = PITI - Monthly expenses

    Total Monthly payment = $2,000 - $100

    Total Monthly payment = $1,900
