Given data:

Principal = $1500.00

Term Length = 4 years

Interest Rate = 6%

Monthly Payment = $35.00

Calculate the Monthly Interest Rate:


\frac{6\text{\%}}{12}=0.5\text{\%=0.005}

Given that the 40th payment has $275 left in the principal, the amount that will go towards interest for this payment will be the product of the monthly interest rate and principal:


0.005*275\text{ = 1.375}

Therefore,

the amount that would go towards interest is approximately $1.38 [Option C]
