Question

If my rent is 2795 a month, I agree to pay 75 more than my roommate how much do I owe and how much does my roommate owe

Answer 1

The rent owe by me is Rs 1435

The rent owe by roommate is Rs 1360

Explanation:

Given as :

The total rent of the room = x = Rs 2795

Let The room rent pay by friend = Rs y

And The room rent pay by me = Rs z

Now, According to question

The room rent pay by me = Rs 75 + room rent pay by roommate

i,e Rs z = Rs 75 + Rs y

Now, Again

The total rent of the room = The room rent pay by me + room rent pay by roommate

Or, x = Rs z + Rs y

Or, Rs 2795 = (Rs 75 + Rs y) + Rs y

Or, 2795 = 75 + 2 y

Or, 2 y = 2795 - 75

Or, 2 y = 2720

∴ y =
`(2720)/(2)`

i.e y = Rs 1360

So, room rent pay by friend = y = Rs 1360

And,The room rent pay by me = Rs 75 + room rent pay by roommate

Or,The room rent pay by me = Rs 75 + Rs 1360

So,he room rent pay by me = Rs 1435

Hence,The rent owe by me is Rs 1435

And ,The rent owe by roommate is Rs 1360 Answer
