Question

Martin finds an apartment to rent for $420 per month. He must pay a security deposit equal to one and a half months' rent. How much is the security deposit? i assume $840?

Answer 1

`\text{ \$630}`

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we have it that the securit deposit is one and a half months' rent

What this means is that we will add one month rent to half of the other month at a value of $420 per month

Mathematically, we have this as:

`\begin{gathered} 420\text{ + }(420)/(2) \\ =\text{ 420 + 210 = \$630} \end{gathered}`
