Let

x-------> Amy's monthly rent

y-------> Amy's monthly income

we know that

[tex]x= \frac{1}{4}y[/tex] -----> equation 1

[tex]x=\$1200[/tex] -----> equation 2

substitute equation 2 in equation 1

[tex]1200= \frac{1}{4}y\\ y=4*1200 \\y=\$4,800[/tex]

therefore

the answer is

Amy's monthly income is [tex]\$4,800[/tex]
