Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: $268.86 which is choice B

===============================

Work Shown:

L = loan amount = amount financed = 15000

r = monthly interest rate = (2.9%)/12 = 0.029/12 = 0.00241666666667

n = number of months = 60 (since 5 years = 5*12 = 60 months)

Plug those values into the formula below and simplify

P = (r*L)/(1 - (1+r)^(-n) )

P = (0.00241666666667*15000)/(1 - (1+0.00241666666667)^(-60) )

P = 268.864301358403

P = 268.86
