Answer 1

Answer: $8,400

Explanation:

Given the following:

Amount repaid each month = $150

Number of Periods for which amount was paid = 10 months

Amount left after 10 months payment = $6900

Harry's original debt=?

The total amount paid = $150 × 10 = $1500

Amount left = $6900

Total debt amount:

(Total Amount left + total amount paid )

$(6900 + 1500)

=$8400
