A Hepplewhite sofa costs 1940 in cash. Jaquanna Wilson will purchase the sofa in 36 monthly installment payment. A 13% per year finance charge will be assessed on the amount financed. Find the finance charge, the installment price, and the monthly payment.
Solution:-
To obtain the finance charge, first find the number of years Jaquanna Wilson will pay for the sofa. Divide the number of monthly payments by 12.

Finance charge = 1940*13%*3
=756.60
To find the installment price, add the finance charge to the cash price.
Installment price = cash price + finance charge
= 1940 + 756.60

Monthly payment =
