Question

5 roommates share the cost of an apartment: rent,electricity, and gas. rent costs 1800 and gas costs 150 per month. each roommate pays 425 per month. how much is the electricity bill​

Answer 1

Electricity bill is 175

Explanation:

Given

`Rent = 1800`

`Gas = 150`

`Each\ Roommate = 425` monthly

`Number\ of\ Roommate = 5`

Required

Determine the electricity bill

If each roommate pays 425, then 5 roommates pay 5 * 425

`Total = 5 * 425`

`Total = 2125`

This implies that: the monthly cost of room, gas and electricity add up to 2125.

In other words,

`Gas + Rent + Electricity = 2125`

`150 + 1800+ Electricity = 2125`

`1950+ Electricity = 2125`

`Electricity = 2125 - 1950`

`Electricity = 175`

Hence, the electricity bill is 175
