Question

Michael’s two major monthly bills are his health insurance and his portion of the rent. If Michael’s rent is four times his health insurance decreased by twenty-five and the sum of them together is $525, how much is Michael’s portion of the rent and how does he pay for his health insurance?

Answer 1

R=4H-25

R+H =525

R=525-H

4H-25 = 525-H

5H = 525

H = $100

R = $425

Health insurance is 100/525 = 4/21 = about 19% of the cost

Rent = about 81%
