9. Sarah buys a car for $11,385. She has no car to trade in. Her down payment is $1385. If she
takes out a loan at 13% interest for 5 years,
how much will the monthly payments be?
Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sarah buys a car for $11,385.

Her down payment is 1385$.

A loan is taken out for completing this contract, at 13% interest rate for 5 years.

Solve for:

Monthly payments.

Solutions:

Step 1: Apply the correct formula

a, To workout the actual amount of money (AM) that must be paid back to bank, the following formula is used:

AM = Principal x (1 + rate)^time

b, This amount of money is then divided by number of months in 5 years to get the monthly payment.

Step 2: Perform the calculation

After the down payment step, the loan Sarah took out to pay off the price of that car: L = 11385 - 1385 = 10000

The total amount of money she will need to pay back bank after 5 years, with principal = L, interest rate = 13%:

AM = 10000 x (1 + (13/100)/12)^(5 x 12) = 19088.565$

=> The monthly payment is:

MP = total amount of money/number of months

     = 19088.565/(5 x 12) = ~318.143$

Hope this helps!

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
