16560-2160=14400

Answer:

$ 300

Explanation:

Given,

The downpayment of the car = $ 2,160,

Total value of car = $16,560,

Thus, the total payment of the loan = 16560 - 2160

= $ 14,400

Number of periods = 48 months,

Hence, the payment in each month =
\frac{\text{Total payment of loan}}{\text{number of months}}


=(14400)/(48)

= $ 300
