To determine how much Kai and Emery will together contribute to the rent, follow these steps:
1. Identify the total rent: The total rent for the apartment is [tex]$1000.
2. Determine the fraction of the rent that Kai and Emery will contribute: Kai and Emery will together contribute 2/5 of the total rent.
3. Calculate the combined contribution:
- Multiply the total rent by the fraction representing Kai and Emery’s contribution.
- So, we need to compute \( \frac{2}{5} \) of $[/tex]1000.
4. Perform the multiplication:
[tex]\( \frac{2}{5} \times 1000 = 400 \)[/tex]
Thus, Kai and Emery will together contribute $400 towards the rent.
