The bakery you choose cost $1000 per month.

The bakery that you almost rented was one fourth for the cost: 1/4 of $1000.

When you have a fraction of a quantity you have to multiply the fraction by the value. Doing so, we have:


\begin{gathered} (1)/(4)\cdot1000 \\ (1)/(4)\cdot(1000)/(1)\text{ (Converting 1000 to a fraction)} \\ (1000)/(4)\text{ (Multiplying the numerators and then the denominators)} \\ 250\text{ (Dividing)} \\ \text{The answer is \$250} \end{gathered}
