Question

Please help and explain ALL the steps to the problem

Answer 1

So, 1725 would be 1 and a half month's pay of rent.

The equation would be 1725 divided by 1.5 since that would get us what the two friends paid for one month of rent. Let r= rent.

1725/1.5= r

1725/1.5= 1150

So, rent would equal $1150.

I hope this helps!
