Theresa leased a one-bedroom apartment from Landlady for one year at $500 per month. After three months, she vacated the apartment. A family of five wanted to rent the apartment, but Landlady refused. Three months later—six months into what would have been Theresa’s term—Landlady managed to rent the apartment to Tenant for $400 per month. How much does Theresa owe, and why?

Answer:

She owes 4500 because she leased the apartment for 1 year and her yearly total would be 6,000 but since she left after three months the amount she paid was 1,500 and 6,000 - 1,500 is 4,500 that is how much she owes.

Step-by-step explanation:

I hope this helped have a great day!
