337.50 + 35.00 = $372.50 total cost.

Answer 2

Answer:

The cost will be $ 372.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

For a stereo,

Down payment = $ 35.00,

Also, the amount of each payment = $22.50,

Number of payment = 15,

So, the total amount of payment = 15 × 22.50 = $ 337.5,

Hence, the total cost of the stereo = Down payment + Total amount of payment

= $ 35.00 + $ 337.5

= $ 372.5
