Answer 1

Answer: $212.50

Explanation:

Cindy's share = 40% of the cost.

Mary's share = 35% of the cost.

Reese's share = 100% - (40% + 35%) = 100% - 75% = 25%

If the cost to rent a vacation home for a week is $850, the amount that Reese will pay to rent this vacation home for a week will be:

= 25% × $850

= 0.25 × $850.

= $212.50
