The Clark family must pay $2,820 in property tax on their home this year. The house payment $752 per month. What is their payment each month with the tax? Assume that the tax is paid in equal monthly installments.

It's actually easier than it seems. if the tax is paid in equal payments every month and the total throughout a year (12 months) is $2,820, you have to find out how much they pay every month

so divide the total by the number of months

2,820/12=235

they pay $235 in taxes every month

to find out the total of the taxes and the house payment, just add the monthly tax and the monthly house payment.

235+752

and your answer is the sum
