Question

Stephanie is looking at apartments with 2 of her friends. They want the monthly rent to be no more than $3,999. If the

roommates split the rent evenly among the 3 of them, what is the maximum rent each will pay?

Answer 1

The maximum rent each will pay is $1,333.

Explanation:

They want the monthly rent to be no more than $3,999.

It will be split evenly between all of them, with each contributing with x.

This means that the maximum rent each will pay is given by:

`3x = 3999`

`x = (3999)/(3)`

`x = 1333`

The maximum rent each will pay is $1,333.
