Answer: If Amanda Bryan purchased a used car for $12,875 and made a 25% down payment, then she paid:
25% of $12,875 = 0.25 * $12,875 = $3,218.75
This means that the amount she financed (i.e. borrowed) to purchase the car is the difference between the total cost of the car and the down payment:
Amount financed = Total cost - Down payment
Amount financed = $12,875 - $3,218.75
Amount financed = $9,656.25
Therefore, Amanda Bryan financed $9,656.25 to purchase the used car.
