HELP PLEASE! I GIVE MEDALS! NEED HELP ASAP You have decided to purchase a new 2014 Mini Cooper Roadster for your birthday! The price of the roadster is $30,822 and the current interest rate is 4%. You will take out a loan to cover the cost of your purchase and will not be making a down payment. 1. Using the function A(t)=P(1+r)^t, create a function that represents your new car loan. The principle, P, will be the price of the vehicle. 2. Using the function you created in #1, determine how much money you will pay for the car if you take out a 5-year loan. Please show all work in solving this question.

OpenStudy (anwaarullah):

A(t)=P(1+r)^t \[ 30882(1+r)t\]\[30882(1.04)^5\]

OpenStudy (anwaarullah):

can you do calculation now, actually i dnt have calculater

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1.21

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anwaarullah):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so then would i multiply 1.21 by 30882?

OpenStudy (anwaarullah):

37573 is answer round oof

OpenStudy (anwaarullah):

yeah

OpenStudy (anwaarullah):

you have 30,822 and interest is 4% so for 1 year you have to pay 4% interest +principle,,,like 30822*.04=1233 and goes on
