What percentage of your total payment from part(b) is interest?Part A: The monthly payment is ?(Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest cont as needed.)

Sagot :

Given,

P=$4500

r=12%

For 1 month the rate is 12/12%=1%

So interest for one month is

[tex]I=\frac{4500\times1\times1}{100}=45[/tex]

a. The monthly payment is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\frac{4500\times0.01\times(1+0.01)^{12}}{(1+0.01)^{12}-1} \\ \Rightarrow A=\frac{50.70}{0.12} \\ \Rightarrow A=422.5 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The monthly payment is $422.5

b. Total payment for a year is:

A=4500+(12x45)=$5040

Total amount paid since January is $5040

c. The percentage of interest is:

[tex]\frac{45\times12}{5040}\times100\%=10.71[/tex]

The percentage interest is 10.71%
