2. Monthly Fee: The monthly fee is \$[/tex]125 per month.
3. Number of Months: There are 12 months in a year.
4. Compute the Total Monthly Fees: To find the cost for 12 months, multiply the monthly fee by the number of months:
[tex]\[
125 \times 12 = 1500
\][/tex]
5. Add the Annual Fee: Combine the total monthly fees with the annual fee:
[tex]\[
1500 + 120 = 1620
