To find the rent for one month, we need to subtract the security deposit from the total amount they paid and then divide it by two (since there are two college friends).

Let's break down the information given:

Total amount paid to the landlord = $2800
Security deposit = $500

To find the rent for one month, we can use the following equation:

Rent for one month = (Total amount paid - Security deposit) / Number of friends

Substituting the values, we have:

Rent for one month = ($2800 - $500) / 2

Now let's calculate it:

Rent for one month = $2300 / 2
= $1150

Therefore, the rent for one month is $1150.
