Hi,

Think of it this way:

If You had $36 and You spent 1⁄4 going to a movie,

how much did it cost You to go to the movie.

As $9 + $9 + $9 + $9 = $36,    1⁄4 for a movie would be 

annual income $36,000,     1⁄5 for housing:  

As to Your answer 35,470, might always recommend looking at Your answer

once You have it and asking Yourself, does that answer make CENTS.

If $35,470 of the $36,000 was spent on housing, there would almost nothing

left for all the other things.

Wish You the Best in your Studies.
