To determine how much Amy should expect to pay on rent and utilities each year, we first need to analyze the given data:
1. Average Monthly Rent: \[tex]$1,100
2. Average Monthly Utility Costs: \$[/tex]200
### Step-by-Step Breakdown:
1. Calculate the yearly rent cost:
- Monthly rent cost: \[tex]$1,100
- Number of months in a year: 12
\[
\text{Yearly rent cost} = \$[/tex]1,100 \times 12 = \[tex]$13,200
\]
2. Calculate the yearly utility cost:
- Monthly utility cost: \$[/tex]200
- Number of months in a year: 12
[tex]\[
\text{Yearly utility cost} = \$200 \times 12 = \$2,400
\][/tex]
3. Calculate the total yearly cost for rent and utilities:
[tex]\[
\text{Total yearly cost} = \text{Yearly rent cost} + \text{Yearly utility cost}
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
\text{Total yearly cost} = \$13,200 + \$2,400 = \$15,600
\][/tex]
Amy should expect to pay \[tex]$15,600 on rent and utilities each year.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
\[
\$[/tex]15,600
\]
