What is a monthly payment?

The monthly payment is the amount which is required to pay each month to pay off the borrowed principal amount or the rent of a service charged monthly.

The rent of the apartment is $650 per month. The rent for the two months (first and last) is,

[tex]\rm M = 2\times 650\\\\M =1300[/tex]

This rent is paid by three friends. Thus, the amount which is paid by an individual friend is,

[tex]\rm P=\dfrac{1300}{3}\\\\P=433.33[/tex]

They each paid $640 towards the total move-in cost of first and last month's rent and a security deposit. Therefore,

[tex]\rm P=640-433P=206.67\\\\[/tex]

Thus, $206.67 is paid by each of them towards security deposits. The total amount of security deposit, deposited by 3 of them, is,

[tex]\rm SD=206.67\times 3\\\\SD=620.01[/tex]

Hence, the total amount of security deposit, deposited by three friends after paying the rent is $620.01. Option C is the correct option.
