Question

To manage a rental property, a property manager charges $65 per month plus 6% of the rent.

Answer 1

Given parameters:

Charge per month  = $65

Percentage on rent= 6%

Amount paid by Jack per month = $164

Unknown:

Monthly rent on his property = ?

Solution:

  Monthly rent on his property can be found by;

  Amount paid by Jack per month = Charge per month + 6% of monthly rent

Let the monthly rent = x ;

  So;

              164  = 65 + $\frac{6}{100} x$ x

              164 - 65  = $\frac{6x}{100}$

                   99  = $\frac{6x}{100}$

                   6x = 9900

                    x = 1650

Monthly rent on his property is $1650
