Question

5 roommates share the cost of an apartment: rent,electricity, and gas. rent costs 1800 and gas costs 150 per month. each roommate pays 425 per month. how much is the electricity bill​

Answer 1

Answer:

Electricity bill is 175

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Rent = 1800$

$Gas = 150$

$Each\ Roommate = 425$ monthly

$Number\ of\ Roommate = 5$

Required

Determine the electricity bill

If each roommate pays 425, then 5 roommates pay 5 * 425

$Total = 5 * 425$

$Total = 2125$

This implies that: the monthly cost of room, gas and electricity add up to 2125.

In other words,

$Gas + Rent + Electricity = 2125$

$150 + 1800+ Electricity = 2125$

$1950+ Electricity = 2125$

$Electricity = 2125 - 1950$

$Electricity = 175$

Hence, the electricity bill is 175
