    Answer:

    $2640

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Sheila’s car payment is 9% of her total income.

    let i = total income

    this equation can be used to represent the information :

    9%  x i = $297

    to determine i, divide both sides of the equation by 9%

    $297 / 0.09 = $3300

    After the marriage, the car payment which is 3300 would be 5% of the combined income.

    let c = combined income

    5% x c = $297

    c = $297 / 0.05 = $5940

    Ryan’s income = combined income – Sheila’s income

    $5940 – $3300 = $2640
