Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate your monthly earnings, you can divide your total earnings for the year by the number of months in the year:
\[ Monthly\ Earnings = \frac{Total\ Earnings}{Number\ of\ Months} \]
Given that you earned $2,496 last year and assuming there are 12 months in the year:
\[ Monthly\ Earnings = \frac{2,496}{12} \]
\[ Monthly\ Earnings ≈ 208 \]
So, you earned approximately $208 each month last year.
