Answer 1

So, you make a payment each month, for 36 months.
how many payments over 36 months.
one each month.
for 36 months.
lets count them.
month 1, things are going good, just got the car, probably still has that new car smell. Well seeing as month 1 is a month, and you make a payment "each month". month one has 1 payment. so after month 1 you have made 1 payment.

phew

month 2, month 2 you make 4000340 payments in a row, but your internet cuts off just as you sign for it! you try again but only manage to make 1 payment

month 3, month 3 was a bad month, your boyfriend left you, your cat ran away. It rained nearly constantly. But since month 3 is a month and you make a payment every month, you made moth 3 payment yay.

month 4, cats back, no sign of boyfriend though. Scumbag, forget him. you make the 1 payment again.

month 5 - 36. since these are all months, and you make a payment each month, you make 32 more payments. bringing your total up to

1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 32 = 36 payments for 36 months
