Answer:

$545

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of interest to be paid is obtained by the formula.

I= p x r x t,

Where I= interest

P= principal amount

R= interest rate

T= time

In this case

I= $18,000 x 3/100 x 3

I= $18,000 x 0.03 x 3

I=$18,000 x 0.09

Interest paid will be $1,620

Total amount to be repaid is the principal amount plus interest

=$18,000 + $1,620

=$19,620.

The amount of $19,620 will be repaid in 3 years( 36 months)

monthly payment will be

=$19,620 /36

=$545

Monthly repayments will be $545
