two friends rent an apartment, and they have to pay one month's rent in advance before they move in. AS a security deposit, the landlord has them pay half of a month's rent. Their total amount: $1725. What's the rent monthly?
And no, this is not my homework, just an easy 10 pointer.

Devide 1725 by 1.5

1725 = 1.5x
divide by 1.5 on both sides
1150... divide by two... two people
575...
and if you budget like I do, divide by 4 to figure out weekly payment
143.75
