a.
$750
b.
$815
c.
$940
d.
$1,065

Answer 1

If Sky and Max have spent a total of $11,280 only for rental costs for a year, their current monthly rental costs are $815.00. To come up with this figure, you would need to subtract $1500 from $11,280 and then divide that answer by 12 months. 

Answer 2

If you would like to know how much did Sky and Max pay for their monthly rent payment, you can calculate this using the following steps:

$11,280 - $1,500 = $9,780

$9,780 / 12 = $815

The correct result would be b. $815.
