Answer:The price of the truck is 4500 dollars.

But he paid it into breakdown:

=> 1500 dollars first payment

=> 350 dollars = 10 months => 350 * 10 = 3500 dollars

=> Total = 3500 + 1500 = 5000 dollars

=> 5000 - 4500 = 500 dollars additional for 10 months

=> 500 / 10 = 50 dollars per month

=> 50 * 12 = 600 dollars for 1 year

=> 600 / 4500 = 13.33% of the yearly interest.
