Explanation:

The tenant agrees to pay all real estate taxes, building insurance, and maintenance (the three "nets") plus the normal monthly rent in a triple net lease agreement.

Rent is 3% of sales. Sales will grow by 7%.

Current sales are equivalent to 100%; increased sales will be 100% + 7% = 107%

This year's monthly  sales are 162,000: next year's monthly sales will be 107% of $162,000

=107/100 x $162,000

=1.07 x $162,000

=$173,340

Monthly sales will be $173,340. Monthly rent is 3% of sales

=3/100 x $173,340

=$5,200.2

The monthly lease will be monthly rent, plus insurance plus maintenance plus, utilities total plus taxes

= $5,200.2 +  $210 + $100 + $425 + $90.

=$6,025.2

monthly lease = $6,025.2

Annual lease =$6,025.2 x 12

=$72,302.40

=$72, 302
