question about rent payments

    Hi - can anyone help me with this:

    I want to rent a property advertised for $400 p/w.
    I want to pay monthly, but there seems to be 2 ways to work out a monthly payment. Previous monthly rentals I have had have been worked out as the weekly rate x 52 / 12.
    The RE agent however, works it out this way: weekly rate/7 x 365/ 12.
    For a $400 p/w rent, this works out to be a $16 per month difference between the 2 methods. Is there a standard method of working out a monthly?

    Thanks in advance
