Question

Alonzo works as a car detailer. He charges $165 per car. He is planning to move out of his parents' house and rent his first apartment. He will need to pay $105 for application fees, $895 for security deposit, and first and last months' rent at $1,120 per month. He has $1,919 in savings. How many cars must he detail to have enough money to rent the apartment?

Answer 1

Answer:

2 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

105 + 895 + 1120 = 2120

He has to pay 2120 of downpayment

2120 - 1919 = 201

Subtract what he already has

He needs 201 more dollars to rent his first apartment

He needs to do 1.21818182 cars...

You cant do 1/5 of a car so he has to do 2 cars
