Answer 2

The renters have to pay 1.5 months rent before moving in (first month plus security deposit) so we can write the following equation to represent the situation:

1.5

m

=

1725

where

m

is the amount of one month's rent.

Using algebra

1.5

m

1.5

=

1725

1.5

1.5

m

1.5

=

1150

m

=

1150

The monthly rent is $1,150.
