Carl bought a lawn tractor using the store's payment plan. He made a $430
down payment and makes monthly payments of $82. If the total cost is $1906, for how many months will Carl
be paying for the tractor? Write an equation and solve.

18 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the total cost of the tractor is = $1906

Carl made a down payment of $430 . And he makes monthly payment of $82

Since he made a down payment of $430, amount left to be paid by him

= $1906 - $430

= $1476

Let the number of months which it’ll take Carl to pay $1476 be A.

The equation can be thus

A$82 = $1476

Where A is the number of months, $82 is the monthly payment and $1476 is the balance to be paid

Therefore

A$82 = $1476

Divide both sides by $82

A$82/$82 = $1476/$82

A = 18

Carl will be paying for the tractor for 18 months

the answer is a.

135 and 80
