Question

Sally must have a total of $2,250 to move in to her new apartment which includes first month's rent, last month's rent, a pet deposit and a security deposit. If the pet deposit is $150 and the security deposit is $750, how much is her rent each month? a. $650 b. $675 c. $750 d. $1,050

Answer 1

The answer is $675
 
to find this you simply just add $150 to $750 ($900) then subtract $900 from $2,250 to get (1350).
and since she has to make the first rent payment and the second you divide 1350 by 2 to get 675

Answer 2

2,250(total)-150(pet deposit)=2100
2100-750(security deposit)=1350
1350/2(because there are two months of rent)=675
$675 is the answer
