Answer 1

@chaise help

Answer 2

The answer is a because if u multiply 500 by 6 and add the deposit it gives u 3125 then u cross multiply X over 100 and 125 over 3125. 100 times 125 is 12500 and divided by 3125 is 4.

Answer 3

deposit = 125
cost of room = 500 + 125 = 625

125/625 = 0.20 = 20%

Answer 4

Who is right???

Answer 5

this might be wrong....I can't figure out if the total cost of the room is including the deposit or not ?

Answer 6

So it's A???is it right??

Answer 7

that depends..
if the total cost of the room includes the deposit...then it is 20%
but if the total cost of the room does not include the deposit, then it is 25%

Answer 8

Because it says William must also pay $125

Answer 9

ok.....then the total cost of the room is 500 + 125 = 625
125/625 = 0.20 = 20%
