Reasoning and answer: If Rhett is currently paid $5000 per month, he pays 10 / 100 * $5000 = $500 in taxes. Rhett has been late on two of his monthly rent payments and plans to pay them with 3 / 5 * $4500 = $2700 from his salary after taxes. If he is to pay $2700 for two late monthly rent payments, his monthly rent expense is $2700 / 2 = $1350.
The answer: 1350
