Question

The rental of a luxury apartment is $3600 per month this year. The rental this year is 20% more than the rental last year. How much was the rental of the apartment last year?

Answer 1

$ 2,880

Explanation:

20/100 = x/3600 (20% is what of 3600) (cross multiply)

(3600*20)/100 = $720

3600 - 720 = $2,880
