Question

Desiree wants to move into a new apartment. Suppose her monthly income is $4,500. To be able to rent, Desiree’s monthly income must be at least three times as much as the monthly rent. What is the maximum rental fee Desiree can afford? (1 point)

$15,000

$1,500

$150

$13,500

Answer 1

$1,500

Because 3 × rent ≤ 4,500, so rent ≤ 4,500 ÷ 3 = 1,500.
