A) $535
B) $613
C) $727
D) $815

Answer 1

Answer:

A) $ 535

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Rent amount = $ 840,

Security deposit = $ 500,

Pet deposit =  $ 265

Total deposit = 840 + 500 + 265 = $ 1605,

Also, the number of person = 3,

If they split the cost evenly,

Then, amount paid by each = $\frac{\text{Total deposit}}{\text{Total person}}$

$=\frac{1605}{3}$

$=\ 535$

Option 'A' is correct.
