Question

Tyron and Penelope both bought 4-wheelers. Tyron paid $199 up front,

and will pay the remainder in 12 payments of $50 each. Penelope paid
nothing up front, and will make 18 payments of $49. Who got the better
buy?

Answer 1

First we calculate for Tyron:
199+(12*50)=199+600=$799
And now for Penelope
0+(18*49)=0+882=$882
Since $799<$882 Tyron got the better buy! If you have any questions comment below

Answer 2

Tyron got the better deal because 12×50=600+199=799 but Penelope had to pay 822 because 49×18=882
