Stephanie is looking at apartments with 2 of her friends. They want the monthly rent to be no more than $3,999. If the
roommates split the rent evenly among the 3 of them, what is the maximum rent each will pay?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The maximum rent each will pay is $1,333.

Step-by-step explanation:

They want the monthly rent to be no more than $3,999.

It will be split evenly between all of them, with each contributing with x.

This means that the maximum rent each will pay is given by:

[tex]3x = 3999[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{3999}{3}[/tex]

[tex]x = 1333[/tex]

The maximum rent each will pay is $1,333.
