B.$490.75
C.$525.25
D.$542.50

Answer 1

The amount that Yadira's friend will pay each month for rent and utilities is A.$472.00.

How to calculate the cost?

From the information, the monthly rent is $1,150.00, and monthly utilities will average $485.00.

The amount that the friend will pay will be:

= (1 - 80%) × Rent

= 20% × $1150

= 0.2 × $1150

= $230

The utilities to be paid will be:

= Utilities / 2

= $485 / 2

= $242

Total amount:

= Rent + Utility

= $230 + $242

= $472

The correct option is A.
