Joe Summers buys a gas grill and accessories. The cost, including tax, amounts to $850.00. Joe finances the grill over 12 months after making a $150 down payment. The true annual interest rate is 14%. What are Joe's monthly payments (principal plus interest)?

To the nearest penny, c = $.
Total of payments = amount financed + c = $.
Total of payments ÷ number of payments = monthly payment = $

Answer:

$66.5

Explanation:

The cost, including tax, amounts to $850.00.

Down payment =$150

Amount after paying down payment = $850-$150=$700

Interest rate = 14 %

So, interest on $700 =
(14)/(100) * 700 =98

So, c = $98

Total payment = amount financed + c = 700+98=$798

Now Joe finances the grill over 12 months

So, no. of payments = 12

Now Monthly payment = Total of payments ÷ number of payments

=798 ÷ 12

=$66.5

Hence Joe's monthly payments (principal plus interest) is $ 66.5
