Question

ennifer buys a new typewriter for $590. Jennifer puts 20% down and will pay $70 a month for the next 10 months. What's the total amount of monthly payments?

Answer 1

Jennifer's total amount of monthly payments for the typewriter, after putting 20% down on a $590 purchase, will be $700 over 10 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jennifer buys a new typewriter for $590 and puts 20% down. To calculate the down payment, we multiply the cost of the typewriter by the percentage down: $590 * 20% = $590 * 0.20 = $118. The remainder of the cost that Jennifer needs to pay off is $590 - $118 = $472.

Jennifer will pay $70 per month for the next 10 months. To find the total amount of monthly payments, we multiply the monthly payment amount by the number of months: $70 * 10 = $700.

Therefore, the total amount she will pay after 10 months, exclusively through her monthly payments, is $700.

Answer 2

The total amount paid in monthly payments is found by multiplying $70 by 10. This is the only information that is needed to find the amount paid over 10 months.

70 x 10 = $700

Ennifer will pay $700 in monthly payments.
