To find out how much more rent Tom paid per square foot than Harry, we need to calculate the rent per square foot for each of them.
First, let's calculate the area of each rectangular floor space:
Tom's floor space: 10 feet × 12 feet = 120 square feet
Harry's floor space: 10 feet × 15 feet = 150 square feet
Next, let's calculate the rent per square foot for each of them:
Tom's rent per square foot = Rent / Area = $600 / 120 square feet = $5 per square foot
Harry's rent per square foot = Rent / Area = $600 / 150 square feet = $4 per square foot
Now, let's find out how much more rent Tom paid per square foot than Harry:
Difference in rent per square foot = Tom's rent per square foot - Harry's rent per square foot = $5 - $4 = $1
So, the correct answer is option B. Tom paid $1 more rent per square foot than Harry.
