Let x = month rent this years;
y = that of last year.
Then from condition, you have these equations
x = 3y - 32000 (1)
x = y + 4000 (2)
The rest is just routine exercise.
For example, from the equations you immediately get
3y - 32000 = y + 4000,
and then
2y = 32000 + 4000 = 36000
y = 36000/2 = 18000
and so on . . .

The numbers are not realistic, but I think that the goal is more to teach/(to learn) making setup than getting (realistic) solution.
If so, then the author/(the creator) deserves to be forgiven.
