Question

I buy a widescreen television costing £1290

I pay £900 now, then
I pay the rest of the money in 3 equal payments.

How much is each payment?

Answer 1

£130

Explanation:

Assuming I understood your question correctly, you have a television which costs in full, £1290 including all applicable VAT and tax. You paid £900 up front, which lowers your overall cost to pay it back down to £390. The rest you pay over the course of an unknown time period in equal payments.

In a real-world scenario, we would take interest into account but you provided none so lets assume this is a utopia where credit needs no interest.

In which case we do simple division, of 390/3 which is a nice round 130.

Simple! You pay £130 per payment.

Answer 2

I believe it's $130

Explanation:

Well first I subtracted the amount paid from the total cost and I got $390. to pay the rest in 3 equal payments I just divided it by 3 and got $130 I'm not completely sure but this is just how I solved it
