Mr. Jones rents an office in a building for $600 a month. His office has an area of 1,250 square feet. At the same rate, how much will it cost to rent an office with an area of 3,000 square feet?

$1440

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question:

We know that the rate is

1250 ft² = $600

3000 ft² = x

Cross Multiply

1250ft² × x = 3000ft² × $600

x = 3000ft² × $600/1250ft²

x = $1440

Therefore, at the same rate, the cost of an office with an area of 3000 square feet is $1440

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
