Question

Rebecca Whitaker purchased a new flat screen television for $767. She made a 20% down payment and financed the remainder. What amount did she finance?
$767.00
$665.00
$617.50
$613.60

Answer 1

To find the 20 % down payment, you do the following:

767 * 0.2 = 154.4

Then you subtract this down payment from the total to get the remaining amount

767 - 154.4 = 613.6 which is the answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

$613.60.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Rebecca Whitaker purchased a new flat screen television for $767.

To Find: She made a 20% down payment and financed the remainder.

Solution:

Cost of flat television = $767

She made a 20% down payment.

So, Down payment = $20\% \times 767$

                                = $\frac{20}{100} \times 767$

                                = $153.4$

So, Payment left = $767-153.4$

                           = $613.60$

We are given that she financed the remainder.

So, She financed $613.60.
