Answer:

Explanation:

The difference between a credit score of 699 and 700 is 14.125% and 13.125% APR interest rate for a 4-year (48-months) loan of $7500.

With APR of 14.125% compounded yearly, the total loan payment after 4 years is

= $7500 * (1 + 14.125%)^4

= $7500 * 1.14125^4

= $12722.85

With APR of 13.125% compounded yearly, the total loan payment after 4 years is

= $7500 * (1 + 13.125)^4

= $7500 * 1.13125^4

= $12282.75

So you will save by having a credit score above 700:

= $12722.85 - $12282.75

= $440.10
