Answer:

You want to buy a $33,000 car. The monthly payments is $ 605

Most car loans use simple interest, a type of interest of which the interest charge is calculated only on the principal

Solution:

Price of the car as mentioned in the question is equal to $33,000

Given rate of simple interest is equal to 2%,

Given time interval is equal to 60 months i.e., 5 Years

Most car loans use simple interest. Hence we can use simple interest formula to calculate the monthly payment

The formula of simple Interest is given as


S . I=(P * R * T)/(100)

Where: P = Principal Amount

R = Rate

T = Time Interval

Thus, substituting the values we get


S . I .=(33000 * 2 * 5)/(100)


=(33000)/(10)=3300

Therefore, total amount = Cost of the car + Interest = 33,000 + 3,300 = 36,300

Number of months for which instalment have to be paid is equal to 60 months i.e., 5 years

Thus, monthly payment to be given as instalment would be equal to


=\frac{\text {total Amount}}{\text {time Period}}=(36300)/(60)=605

Thus the monthly payments is $ 605
