Frank purchased a boat for $7,525. He made a down payment of $475. He applied for a six-year installment loan with an interest rate of 8.4% in the amount of $7,050. What is the total cost of the boat after six years?

OpenStudy (leozap1):

So they charge 8.4 interest a year? (also that's a cheap boat)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Select one: a. $7,642.20 b. $8,157.10 c. $8,999.28 d. $9,474.28 these are the options

OpenStudy (leozap1):

Oh I was adding 8.4% interest each year this might just be 8.4% all together for 6 years

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (leozap1):

Ok I am not suppose to give you the answer so I will help you find it out Ok first off what would be 8.4% interest on 7,050

OpenStudy (leozap1):

Ok what did you get when you multiplied the 8.4% into 7,050

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8.4% of 7050 would be 592.2

OpenStudy (leozap1):

Yes and now you add them together to get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7642.2

OpenStudy (leozap1):
