So the finance charge for a new coffe machine is given by:


\text{ finance charge=Installment price - cash price}

The installment price was $3804.50 and the cash price $3549. We just need to replace these values in the corresponding position on the equation:


\text{ finance charge}=3804.5-3549=255.5

So the finance charge is $255.5
