what is the total cost for moving to her new rented living space?
$2,100
$1,950
$2,000
$2,150

Explanation:

Step1: Identify all expenses

List the expenses: $1000$ (security), $800$ (rent), $150$ (truck), $50$ (supplies), $100$ (utilities).

Step2: Add the expenses

Start with $1000 + 800 = 1800$.

Add $150$: $1800 + 150 = 1950$.

Add $50$: $1950 + 50 = 2000$.

Add $100$: $2000 + 100 = 2100$.

Thus, the total moving cost is $\$2,100$.

Answer:

$2,100$ (Wait, correction: Let's recalculate. The correct total is $1000 + 800 + 150 + 50 + 100 = 2100$? Wait no: $1000 + 800 = 1800$, $1800 + 150 = 1950$, $1950 + 50 = 2000$, $2000 + 100 = 2100$? Wait no, $1000 + 800 = 1800$, $1800 + 150 = 1950$, $1950 + 50 = 2000$, $2000 + 100 = 2100$. Wait but let's do step by step:

Step1: Sum all expenses

We need to add up security deposit ($1000$), first month's rent ($800$), moving truck rental ($150$), packing supplies ($50$), and utility setup fees ($100$).

So the total cost $C = 1000 + 800 + 150 + 50 + 100$.

Step2: Calculate step by step

First, $1000 + 800 = 1800$.

Then, $1800 + 150 = 1950$.

Then, $1950 + 50 = 2000$.

Then, $2000 + 100 = 2100$.

Wait, but let's check again: $1000 + 800 = 1800$; $1800 + 150 = 1950$; $1950 + 50 = 2000$; $2000 + 100 = 2100$. So the total is $2100$. Wait but the options have $2100$ as the first option. Wait maybe I miscalculated? Wait no: $1000$ (security) + $800$ (rent) = $1800$; +$150$ (truck) = $1950$; +$50$ (supplies) = $2000$; +$100$ (utilities) = $2100$. So the correct total is $2100$. So the answer is the first option, $2100$.

Wait but let's re-express the addition:

$1000 + 800 = 1800$

$1800 + 150 = 1950$

$1950 + 50 = 2000$

$2000 + 100 = 2100$

Yes, so the total is $2100$. So the correct option is the first one, $2100$.
