Dred Scott's desicion further pushed the issue
1) <span>The Equator is located (defined) as being at zero degrees north latitude.
The North Pole is located at 90 degrees north latitude.
Therefore, half of the distance from the equator to the north pole would be the line of latitude at 45 degrees north.
This would be quite close to the latitude of Montreal, Quebec, Canada at 45 degrees 30 minutes north latitude.
2) </span><span>The Prime Meridian is defined as being zero degrees west (or east) longitude. </span>
<span>80 degrees west longitude would be quite close to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania which is located at 79 degrees 57 minutes west of Greenwich, England. </span>
<span>The halfway line of longitude would be 40 degrees west longitude. </span>
<span>The city of Rio De Janeiro, Brazil is located approximately 43 degrees west longitude. </span>

First we need to solve the finance charge without the changes.
B = A (1 + ti)
where
t is the number of years, 60 months or 5years
i is the interest rate per year, 18% or 0.18
A is the principal amount, %15,600
B is the amount after t years
so,
B =$15,600 ( 1 + 0.18 x 5 )
B = $15,600 ( 1 + 0.9 )
B= $15,600 (1.9)
B= $29,640.
The finance charge without the changes is $29,640(amount after 5 years) - $15,600(principal amount) = $14,040.
Applying the changes, the principal amount would be $15,600 - $8,500 = $7,100, the number of years will be 2 years (24 months)in equation
B = $7,100 (1 + 0.18 x 2)
B = $7,100 (1 + 0.36)
B = $7,100 (1.36)
B = $9,656, the finance charge with the changes is $9,656 - $7,100 = $2,556.
The changes Jerry made can save $14,040 - $2,556 = $11,484.
