Add the who numbers: 4 + 2 = 6
You are correct, it's C. 6
The answer is indeed 3,725.90. The reason why is because <span>with each adjustment, you take the remaining balance and calculate a fixed rate loan for the remaining time period at the new rate. When you follow that procedure with the data you already have, you get that answer.</span>
The "product" of two numbers means you multiply them.
So, you are multiplying (8-n), where n = "a number," by 7.
Then, when you decrease (subtract) this product by 5, you get 40.
So the whole thing looks like
7(8-n) - 5 = 40.
