Answer 1

Answer:

$450

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. william's paid $1250 in cash for a new television set. But if he was to use the store's deposit plan, he will have to make some installmental payment after paying an initial deposit.

Initial deposit = $350

Installmental payments of $150 for 9months.

His total payment will be = Initial payment + the total amount of the installmental payment.

$350 + (9 x $150) = $350 + 1350 = $1700

$1700 - $1250 = $450 savings

By paying in cash he will be saving an amount of $450.
