Question

sharon bought a $2,100 high definition television set on a six month rent to own plan. the down payment was 10%. what was the dollar value of the down payment? her monthly payments were $75 per month. if she decides not to buy the HDTV after the six months, what was her cost to rent it?

Answer 1

Total Sharon spent $660 for the tv

The down payment was $210

The amount that she paid for rent after 6 months is $450

Explanation:

To find out how much her down payment was you would need to find out how much 10% of $2,100 is which is $210, so you know her down payment was $210.

Then you would find out the total cost of rent is after 6 months so you would do 6 times $75 which is $450. So if she decides to not buy it then after 6 months she would have spent $450 to rent it.

And total she would have spent $660 which you can find out by doing $450 + $210 = $660.
