Answer: $815


Explanation:

Given: Number of friends= 3

The total amount they pay= 2(rent of apartment)+security deposit+pet deposit

⇒The total amount they pay
=2(840)+500+265

⇒The total amount they pay
=\$2445

Since they 3, and if they divide the amount evenly, then to get the amount paid by 1 friend, we need to divide the total cost by 3, we get

The amount paid by a friend=
(2445)/(3)=815

Hence, each will pay $815 to move in.
