Question

Keyon and two of his friends are going to rent a 3 bedroom apartment for $840 a month. The security deposit is $500 and the pet deposit is $265. In addition to the deposits, Keyon and his friends must pay first and last month's rent. If they split the cost evenly, how much will each pay to move in?

Answer 1

Explanation:

oh, come on. you need help to add some numbers that are all there ? and then divide them by 3 ?

first and last month = 2 months = 2×840 = $1,680

deposits = $500 + $265 = $765

1680 + 765 = $2,445

this is what they have to pay in total.

now they split this evenly between them (Keyon and 2 of his friends means 3 people) :

2445 / 3 = $815

this is what each has to pay.
