Answer:

A bed room set is being sold for $5500 if bought cash. The set can be bought on hire purchase by making a down payment of $1500 followed by 24 months payments of $175 each. Calculate:

the total installments paid

24 ($175) = $4200

the hire purchase price

$1500 + $4200 = $5700

the amount saved by paying cash.

$5700 - $5500 = $200 saved by paying cash

Dion bought a new keyboard on hire-purchase. The cash price was $2400. He paid a 25% deposit followed by 24 monthly payments of $120 each. Calculate

the amount of the deposit paid

$2400 * .25 = $600

the total monthly payments made

$120 * 24 = $2880

the hire purchase price

$600 + $2880 = 3480

the difference between the cash price and the hire purchase price:

$3480 - $2400 = $1920

Mr. Baker bought a gas stove on hire-purchase. The cash price was $850. H

is 15% deposit followed by 18 monthly payments of $42 each.

amount of deposit paid: $ 850 * .15 = $127.50

total monthly payments: $42 * 18 = $756

hire purchase price: $127.50 + $756 = 977.50

difference between cash price and hire purchase price:

$883.50 - $850 = $33.50
