The median monthly rent in one area for a specific type of property is $⁢1,225 An investor offers new recommendations for rents that are at least 15% above or below the median rent. Let x be the rent at any given point. Which answer represents the rents that have new recommendations?

Fifteen percent of $1,225 is $183.75. Rents at least 15% below the median are $1,225 − $183.75 = $1,041.25 or less, and rents at least 15% above it are $1,225 + $183.75 = $1,408.75 or more. Therefore, the new recommendations apply when x ≤ $1,041.25 or x ≥ $1,408.75, which is choice B.
