Question

Cheko wants to buy a television set. He will pay $480 first and a monthly amount of $73 for 12 months. How much does the television set cost?

Answer 1

So what I did is I worked backwards and multiplied $73 by 12. After that I added up the product and $480 and got my answer. 1,356

Answer 2

Explanation:

Amounts he payed first = $480

Monthly amount he pays = $73

No of months he payed it for = 12

Additional amount he payed = 73 × 12 = 876

Total amount = 480 + 876 = $1356
