Answer:

A $155.94

Step-by-step explanation:

A down payment is an initial payment that is paid cash to the buyer. It is the same as the deposit. Marcus must have been buying the compute of credit. The down payment or deposit shows that the customer is serious about buying the item.

The deposit that Marcus paid is 12%.

The cost of the new computer is $1,229.50

The deposit will be 12% of $1,229.50

=12/100 x $1,229.50

=0.12 x $ 1,229.50

=$155.94
