Question

Jim rents an apartment in New York City for $1600 a month. Mike rents his apartment in Boston for 7/8 as much. How much more does it cost Jim than it does Michael for rent?

Answer 1

Answer:

Jim pays 200 more dollars per month than Mike.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jim--> $1600/month

Mike--> 7/8(Jim's rent)

7/8(Jim's rent)

7/8(1600)

= $1400

1600-1400= 200

Jim pays 200 more dollars per month than Mike.

I hope that makes sense!
