Question 810301
Two friends are renting an apartment. They pay the landlord the first months rent. The landlord also requires them to pay an additional half of a month's rent for a security deposit. The total amount they pay the landlord before moving in is $1725.what is the monthly rent?
--------
Let the monthly rent be "x".
Equation:
x + (1/2)x = 1725
-------
(3/2)x = 1725
x = (2/3)1725
x = 2*575
x = $1150
