Answer:

B. Jan 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Cost of the Present=$105

Down Payment=20%

20% of 105=0.2 X 105=$21

Total Balance to be Paid =105-21=$84

Since she can afford to make a payment of $16 at the beginning of every month, we divide the balance to be paid by 16.

84÷16=5.25

That means Lois must make her first monthly payment 6 Months earlier including June since Father's day is 3rd Week of June.

Her First Monthly Payment should be made Jan 1.
