A one bedroom apartment in Detroit rents for $450 and in Manhattan it rents for 250% of the price in Detroit.

So, to get the price of how much it rents in Manhattan, according to question:

250% of $450

`(250)/(100)*450`

`=(112500)/(100)`

`=1125`.

So, the price is $1125.

Therefore, the rent in Manhattan is $1125.
