Question

Manuel just bought a new television for $629.00. He made a down payment of $57.00 and will pay monthly payments of $26.00 until it is paid off. How many months will Manuel be paying? (Assume that Manuel pays no interest.)

Answer 1

Answer: 22 months

Explanation:

26x = 629 - 57

26x=572

X=22

Answer 2

22 months

Explanation:

Manuel initially owes $ 629 − $ 57 = $ 572 for the television.

Assuming Manuel is not required to pay any interest on what he owes:

$ 572 ÷ $ 26 month = 22 months
