Question

Apartment rentals in Fairview run approximately $0.90 per square foot. Jillian has determined that she can afford $630 per month for rent. What is the largest apartment, in square feet, she should consider at the given rate?

Answer 1

Answer:

700 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We can simply divide 630 by 0.9 to find the value:

$\frac{630}{0.90}=700$

Checking, if she goes for 700 sq ft at $0.90 per square feet, she would need:

700 * 0.90 = $630

Yes, that's the max, so 700 sq. feet apartment is what she can afford.
