Question

Emily and Olivia rent an apartment near Los Angeles. If they paid $17880 for 120 days, How much they have to pay for each day?

• A. $ 149
• B. $ 148
• C. $147

Answer 1

The correct option is A $ 149

Total amount to be paid= $17880$
There are 120 days.

Amount paid for each day $=\frac{\text{Total amount paid}}{\text{Number of days}}=\frac{17880}{120}$

Let's solve 17880 $÷$ 120 using long division method
The quotient = 149 and the remainder =0
$\therefore 17880÷120$= 149 R 0
Hence,they both have to pay $149 for each day.
