You can put this solution on YOUR website!
They are saying that $210/month is 2.5% of her earnings ( monthly or yearly )
Let +x+ = Jan's monthly earnings
+.025x+=+210+
+x+=+8400+
Jan's yearly earnings is:
+12x+=+100800+
$8,400 is her monthly earnings
$100,800 is her yearly earnings
( note that you don't need to find out how
much is put into the plan in one year )
