You want to buy a used car for $3500 and decide to borrow money from the Bank of Kwok.
With the part time job, you have saved up $643 of cash as a down payment.
Bank of Kwok uses this algebraic formula to determine your monthly payment.
1.13T = 48N + D
where T is the price of the car
1.13 is the 13% HST (thus 1.13T is the total cost you must pay)
N is the number of months for your payment
D is the down payment
What is the 48? _______________________________________________
How many months will it take to pay off your car? Show your work.
1.13T = 48N + D
1.13 x 3500 = 48N + 643
3955 – 643 = 48N + 643 – 643
3312 = 48N
3312 ¸ 48 = 48N ¸ 48
69months = N
Different scenario:
a) What if you increase your down payment to $1075. How many months will it take to pay off the car?
b) What if you increase your monthly payment to $144, keeping the same down payment. How many months will it take to pay off the car?
c) What if you lower your monthly payment to $36. How many months will it take to pay off the car?
- is this a good idea to take so long to pay off a used car? Why?
