foot shop costs $45,600 to lease for the
year, how expensive is it to lease a shop
that is 1,820 square feet?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write a proportion.

Proportion = square feet/ cost

Since a 1425 square feet shop cost 45600 to lease, the proportion is equal to: 1425/45600

For a 1820 square feet shop: 1820/x

Where x is the cost per year for leasing a 1820 square feet shop

1425ft/\$456000=1820ft/\$x

1425/456000 = 1820 / x

Solving for x:

x = 1820/(1425/456000)

x=\$582,400
