Give the step-by-step reasoning process and then the final answer. Janet wanted to move out of her parents' house and rent her own apartment. She had $2,225 saved. She found an apartment that cost $1,250 per month that was perfect for her. The landlord said that she needed to be able to pay 2 months' rent in advance to rent the place and she would also need to put down a deposit of $500. How much more money did Janet need in order to rent the apartment?
To move in, Janet had to pay 2 months worth of rent so that would cost 2 * 1250 = $2,500. On top of the rent she needed to pay a deposit of $500 so 2500 + 500 = $3,000 total to rent the apartment. If it cost $3000 to move in and she had $2225 then she need 3000 - 2225 = $775 more.
The final answer: 775.
