Answer: Making 24 payments of $95.

Explanation:

This problem is really just simple multiplication. (and maybe a bit of subtraction)

First, you multiply 24 by $95, which would give you $2,280.

Then, multiply 30 by $80, which would give you $2,400.

This would give you the answer to your first question.

Finally, subtract $2,400 from $2,280 to get $120, which is your answer to the second question.

Hope I helped. :)
