Answer:

-4,790

Explanation:

60 x 389 = 23,340

Answer:

b. $4,790

Explanation:

To do this we first have to calculate how much is the total of what I pay in the 60 monthly payments

For this we only have to multiply the value of $ 389 by the number of months (60)

$389 * 60 = $23,340

This means that what I actually pay John is $23,340 and not $18,550

If we want to know how much interest payment, we only need to make a difference of these values

$23,340 - $18,550 = $4,790

so what interest payment is $ 4,790
