If Elizabeth moved in with someone in Portland and paid $1,000 in rent and $45 in utilities, we can calculate how much she would save compared to her current situation.
To find the amount she would save monthly, we need to know how much she currently pays for rent and utilities. If we subtract the new cost from the current cost, we can determine the savings.
Let's say Elizabeth currently pays $1,500 in rent and $60 in utilities.
Rent savings = Current rent - New rent = $1,500 - $1,000 = $500
Utilities savings = Current utilities - New utilities = $60 - $45 = $15
So, by moving in with the person in Portland, Elizabeth would save $500 on rent and $15 on utilities each month.
Therefore, her total monthly savings would be $500 + $15 = $515.
hope this helps! i feel i've seen this question somewhere but i can't really remember lol - sun
