Question

Orlando bought a new couch for 2,736, using the furniture store's finance plan. He will pay $114 a month for 24 months. Which equation can Orlando use to find out how much money he still owes after each month of the plan?

Answer 1

x: months

y: debts after each month

y = $2736 - $114 * x

I hope this is self-explanatory.

Answer 2

`y = 2736 - 114x`

Explanation:

It is given that the cost of the couch was $2,736. Orlando bought that couch using furniture store's finance plan. The plan says that he is supposed to pay $114 per month for a period of 24 months.

we are asked to determine the equation which can determine the total amount still due on orlando after x number of months.

Let the total number of month we are calculating = x

Payment per month = $114

Hence payment made in x months = $114x

Hence payment still owned by Orlando = $2736-$114x

Above equation gives us the dues on Orlando
