So you have to plug in the amount to the cost making you problem look like this:
0.85(30)+2.5(2)
25.5+5=30.5
We need to find the difference first. 65 - 60 = 5. Now we must find what percent 5 is of 65. It is 7,7%. The number decreased, and so it is a 7,7% decrease.

560/18=$31.11
$60 in interest is paid, or an additional $3.33 a month (Bringing the monthly loan payment to a grand total of $31.11)
The answer is (1,-4)
Remember that the vertex is the center of the parabola.
