The lease of an apartment states that you have to pay the first month's rent, the last month's rent, and the security deposit of one month's rent at the time of signing. How much money will you be required to pay at the time of signing if one month's rent is $367?
-

According to the lease, you are required to pay the first month's rent, the last month's rent, and the security deposit of one month's rent at the time of signing. Since one month's rent is $367, the first month's rent would be $367, the last month's rent would also be $367, and the security deposit would be $367. Therefore, the total amount you would be required to pay at the time of signing is $367 + $367 + $367 = $1,101.Rate this question:

If the total length of your apartment is 33 feet and the width is 27 feet, what is the total area of the apartment, and what is its perimeter?
-
Area 700 square feet and perimeter 150 feet
-

-
Area 650 square feet and perimeter 130 feet
Correct Answer
A. Area 693 square feet and perimeter 120 feetExplanation
The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its width. In this case, the length is 33 feet and the width is 27 feet. Therefore, the area of the apartment is 33 feet * 27 feet = 891 square feet.
The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding the lengths of all its sides. In this case, the length is 33 feet and the width is 27 feet. Therefore, the perimeter of the apartment is 2 * (33 feet + 27 feet) = 120 feet.Rate this question:

Apartment A has a total of 3 floors, 2 of them 30 feet by 25 feet, and one floor 40 feet by 30 feet. Apartment B has 2 floors, both 40 feet by 40 feet. Both cost $50 per square foot, which one costs less?
-
Apartment A
-
Apartment B
Correct Answer
A. Apartment BExplanation
Apartment A has a total area of (30 ft x 25 ft) + (30 ft x 25 ft) + (40 ft x 30 ft) = 1,500 sq ft + 1,500 sq ft + 1,200 sq ft = 4,200 sq ft. Apartment B has a total area of (40 ft x 40 ft) + (40 ft x 40 ft) = 1,600 sq ft + 1,600 sq ft = 3,200 sq ft. Since both apartments cost $50 per square foot, Apartment A costs $50 x 4,200 sq ft = $210,000, while Apartment B costs $50 x 3,200 sq ft = $160,000. Therefore, Apartment B costs less.Rate this question:

If you spend $1200/month on rent and your monthly income is $4000, what percentage of it are you spending on rent?
-
12%
-
15%
