Question
Julia purchases a Nissan Sentra. a) The dealer charges for the car include the invoice price of $26,000, the sales tax of 6.25% of the invoice price, plus a non-taxed fixed license plate fee of $45. What is the total of these charges? b) Her dad makes a down payment on the car. After paying that she has to take out a car loan of $17, 500. If she obtains a loan at 3.5% for 6 years with monthly payments what will her monthly payment be? c) What is the total she will pay on the loan during the 6 years?Explanation / Answer
a) Invoice price = $26000
Sales tax = 6.25% of invoice price
= 6.25 * 26000 / 100
= $1625
License plate fee = $45
=> Total of all charges = $26000 + $1625 + $45
= $27670
b) Principal P = $17500
T = 6 R = 3.5
=> Interest I = PTR/100
= 17500 * 6 * 3.5 / 100
= $3675
Total amount A = P + I
=> A = 17500 + 3675
=> A = $21175
Number of monthly payments = 6*12 = 72
=> Monthly payment = 21175/72 = $294.1
c) The total she will pay on the loan
= Amount A
= $21175
