Tara, Monica, and Raymond share the cost of renting an apartment. The total monthly cost is 1,120. Tara pays 1/4 of the total cost. Monica pays .375 of the total cost. Raymond pays the rest. How much does Raymond pay?
(PLEASE EXPLAIN IN A SIMPLE FORM< PLEEEEASSSEE)
To find out how much Raymond pays, we'll need to subtract Tara's and Monica's payments from the total cost.
Tara pays 1/4 of the total cost = (1/4) * 1120 = 280
Monica pays .375 of the total cost = .375 * 1120 = 420
Now, we'll find out Raymond's payment by subtracting Tara's and Monica's payments from the total cost:
Raymond pays = Total cost - Tara's payment - Monica's payment
Raymond pays = 1120 - 280 - 420
Raymond pays = 420
Therefore, Raymond pays 420.
