$875.00 plus 5% sales tax = 875 + 0.05*875 $875.00 plus 5% sales tax = 875 + 43.75 $875.00 plus 5% sales tax = 918.75

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so you're really paying $918.75

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if you don't have all that money, then you finance it (ie borrow it all from a credit company and pay it back)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

pay it back over time

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Since you're financing $918.75 at a rate of 14.25%, this means that you have to pay back I = Prt I = 918.75 * 0.1425 * 1 I = 130.92 dollars in interest

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

So you must add on 130.92 to the amount financed 918.75 + 130.92 = 1049.67 This is the total amount you must pay back

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

oh wait...when it says "0% program for 12 months" does that mean that the interest is 0% when you make your payments?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

let me think for a sec

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I think I do, but I'm not getting any of the answer choices

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

maybe you can find a similar example in your book?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

interest for the year divided by the portion of the yar that has gone by

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I noticed you wrote 0.1475 instead of 0.1425, is this the same problem?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

875.00 (1.05) = total amount financed 875.00 (1.05) (.1425) = interest accrued during 1 year divide that by 12 and times it by 8 is my idea

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you use a calculator and plug in: 875.00 [x] 1.05 [x] .1425 [x] 8 [\(\div\)] 12

OpenStudy (amistre64):

price times tax rate, plus price. Times interest rate divided by 12; gives you how much interest is accruing each month. Times that by 8 to get 8 months worth of accrued interest

OpenStudy (amistre64):

87.29 sounds good to me

OpenStudy (amistre64):

err, .28

OpenStudy (amistre64):

im not sure how much time i have, but im sure there are others here that can help out

OpenStudy (amistre64):

sure

OpenStudy (amistre64):

correct

OpenStudy (amistre64):

hmmm, but id have to look up the definit of overage to be sure

OpenStudy (amistre64):

net is after taxes, so that does sound plausible
