(0.14×675×25)÷(2×12)=98.44
675+98.44=773.44
773.44÷24=32.23

Answer:

$36

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of the drill press= $725

Down payment = $50

So, principal amount = $725-$50 =$675

He finances the drill press over 24 months

Time = 24 months = 2 years

No. of payments = 24

Rate of interest = 14 % = 0.14

[tex]Interest = principal \times rate \times time[/tex]

Where time must be in years

So, [tex]Interest =675 \times 0.14 \times 2[/tex]

[tex]Interest(c) =189[/tex]

Now we are given that Total of payments = amount financed + c

Total of payments = 675+189 =$864

Monthly payment = Total of payments ÷ number of payments

So,Monthly payment = 864÷24

Monthly payment = $36 = 3600 pennies (1 dollar = 100 pennies).

Hence the Carl's monthly payments is $36
