I showed my working out above?

joel_atkins · Answer

12 Monthly payments of $88.38.
88.38 x 12 = 1060.56

$2.50 extra per credit card charge (12 in total, or you could just add 2.50 onto the 88.38).
2.50 x 12 = 30

Late fees of $45 for 4 different occasions.
45 x 4 = 180

@Joel_Atkins did you subtract or add 1060.56 ,30 ,180 ? all together ?

joel_atkins · Answer

I added them, you weren't being paid that extra, you were paying that extra.
All those multiplications are charges.
