Answer:

b.675


Step-by-step explanation:


Answer:

Her rent is $ 675 each month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total amount = $ 2, 250

Which includes first month's rent, last month's rent, a pet deposit and a security deposit.

i.e. first month rent + last month rent + pet deposit + security deposit = $ 2,250

Since, pet deposit = $150, security deposit = $750,

Also, let x be the salary in dollars in each month,

[tex]\implies x + x + 150 + 750 = 2250[/tex]

[tex]2x + 900 = 2250[/tex]

[tex]2x = 2250 - 900[/tex]

[tex]2x = 1350[/tex]

[tex]\implies x = 675[/tex]

Hence, her rent is $ 675 each month.
