Answer:

£503.75

Explanation:

Andy is buying a car.

Step 1

We calculate the decrease

He negotiated a 7% decrease on a £6 500 car.

Decrease = 7% × £6500

= $455

Step 2

We calculate the new price of the car.

= Old price - Decrease

= £6500 - £455

= £6045

Step 3

We calculate the amount he pays every month.

We are told that:

He will pay the full balance in 12 equal monthly payments.

Andy's monthly payments =

New price/12 months

= £6045/12

= £503.75

Therefore, the amount he would be paying each new month = £503.75
