41 months will it take you to pay the loan off

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

$1, 400 of debt

Monthly payment is $45

If the APR is 16.80% ,

Suppose you make the least contribution until the debt is paid out in full then 41 months will it take you to pay the loan off.

Since the debt is $1400
