**Example Question: Calculating Rent Shares**

Jane and her two friends will rent an apartment for $725 a month, but Jane will pay double what each friend does because she will have her own bedroom. How much will Jane pay a month?

\[ \text{Jane will pay } \$\_\_\_\_ \text{ per month.} \]

**Interactive Tools:**

- **Input Box**: Enter Jane’s payment.
- **Buttons**: 
  - **X**: Cancel 
  - **⟳**: Refresh or reset input

For a detailed understanding, let's break down the costs:
1. Total rent = $725
2. Let each friend’s share be \( x \).
3. Jane pays double each friend’s share, which is \( 2x \).

The equation based on the total rent:
\[ x + x + 2x = 725 \]
\[ 4x = 725 \]
\[ x = 181.25 \]

Thus, each friend pays $181.25, and Jane pays:
\[ 2 \times 181.25 = 362.50 \]

**Conclusion:** Jane will pay $362.50 per month.
