Question

Andre is looking at apartments with 1 of his friends. They want the monthly rent to be no more than $1000. If the roommates split the rent evenly among the two of them, what is the maximum rent each will pay?

Answer 1

We have the next inequality

`2x\le1000`

where x is the rent of each person

`\begin{gathered} x\le(1000)/(2) \\ x\le500 \end{gathered}`

The maximum rent each will pay is $500
