Jessica just bought a refrigerator for $799. She paid $79.80 in a down payment and will pay the rest in 4 equal installments. How much does she need to pay for each installment?

Answer:

$179.80

Explanation:

799-79.80=719. That's the down payment subtracted from the total price of the refrigerator. 719/4, since there's four equal installments, gives you 179.8. Since cents go in 10s, you make it 179.80 and slap a dollar sign in front of that.
