Question

I buy a bed which normally costs £270 on a scheme where the price of the bed is increased by 60% but I only pay back £18 a month.

How long will it take to fully purchase the bed?

Answer 1

it would take 2 years or 24 months

Explanation:

60 percent of 270 is 162 add that to 270 and you get 432 divide that by 18 because that's what you're paying every month and you get 24 which is the numbe rof months it will take you to pay the bed off.

To cross check we can multiply 18 and 24 and you get 432.

Answer 2

=432

Explanation:

270-60%=162

162+270=432

432÷18=24

24×18=432
