Answer:

(i) $150,000  (ii) $129,600   (iii) $279,600 (iv) $129,600

(v) 86.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

(i) 20%          = $30,000

   100/20      = 5

   cash price =$30,000 *5

                      =$150,000

(ii) Installment per month= $3600

    12 months                    =$3600*12

                                         =$43,200

   Per year                       =$43,200

   3 years                        =$43,200*3

                                       =$129,600

(iii) Cash Price                =  $150,000

     Installment               = + $129,000

Total Payment               =  $279,000

(iv) Total Payment         =   $279,000

     Cash Price               = - $150,000

     Money Saved         =    $129,600

(v) Amount saved as a % cash price = $129,600 *100

                                                                150,000

                                                           = 12,960,000

                                                              150,000

                                                           = 86.4%
