Answer:

15,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The principal amount in a loan is the amount borrowed. It is the amount from which interest is calculated. When repaying a loan, the full principal amount and the interest must be paid.

The car is valued at 20,000. A deposit of 5000 is paid. the principal amount in the loan is 15,000. (20,000 - 5000)
