Question

Steve just signed a lease to rent a new apartment. His monthly rent will be $800.00, and he will have to pay a one-time nonrefundable security deposit equal to half of the monthly rent. If Steve rents the apartment for x months, which equation can be used to determine T, the total amount Steve will pay to live in the apartment?

Answer 1

Answer:

800x+400=T

Step-by-step explanation:

800 is the monthly rent and x is the variable used to represent the number of months Steve will rent the apartment, and 400 is the security deposit that is half of 800. Lastly, when putting the equation together, the left side of the equation will equal to T.
