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

Let r = monthly rent. Total move-in = first + last + pet + security = 2r + 150 + 750 = 2250.
So 2r + 900 = 2250 → 2r = 1350 → r = 675.

Answer: b. $675
