Your landlord requires that you purchase Liability insurance, but he will pay 20% of the cost it you buy both Liability and Contents insurance. it you buy both at the same time the cost is $45 per month. What is the cost to you per month it you buy both and take advantage of the landlord's offer?

Verified Answer :

If the landlord pays 20% of the cost for both Liability and Contents insurance, and the total cost for both insurances is $45 per month when purchased together, then you need to calculate how much you have to pay after the landlord's contribution.

Let @@MATH_TOKEN_1@@ be the cost of Liability insurance and @@MATH_TOKEN_2@@ be the cost of Contents insurance.

Since the landlord pays 20% of the total cost, you pay 80% of the total cost.

So, the cost to you per month for both insurances is:

@@MATH_TOKEN_0@@

Therefore, if you buy both insurances and take advantage of the landlord's offer, the cost to you per month is $36.
