You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The monthly costs are $320 per month and $80 per month. Because these costs are monthly use m to show that these costs occur monthly.

320m+80m=400m
In order to calculate how much this will cost per year substitute 12 for m because there are 12 months in a year
400m=400*(12)
400*(12)= $4800 per year.
The yearly cost for the apartment is $4800.
