To solve for the total payment at the end of the year, multiply the monthly fee by the total months in a year and add the product and the cost of the phone. Since there are 12 months in a year, multiply £15 per monthly fee by 12 to get the value you need to pay in 1 year then add the cost of the phone to calculate the total payment at the end of the year. The problem can be written as;  
> £15(12) + £140 = total payment at the end of the year.
> £15(12) + £140  
> £180 + £140
> £320 
The total payment at the end of the year is £320.
