He bought the computer for $525. He paid $48.13 for 12 months. The total payment is:
Total amount paid = $48.13 * 12 months
Total amount paid = $577.56

Difference = $577.56 - $525
Difference = $52.56

Therefore, it is not true that "he bought the computer with No interest", maybe "He used a credit card to make the purchase and paid an additional $52.56 for the interest. "
