Andre is looking at apartments with 1 of his friends. They want the monthly rent to be no more than $1000. If the roommates split the rent evenly among the two of them, what is the maximum rent each will pay?

We have the next inequality


2x\le1000

where x is the rent of each person


\begin{gathered} x\le(1000)/(2) \\ x\le500 \end{gathered}

The maximum rent each will pay is $500
