Question

Cameron bought a used car for $4,500. He made a down payment of $1,200 and agreed to pay the remaining balance in monthly payments of $300 each.
Which equation can be used to find m, the number of months it will take Cameron to pay off his car? (7.10A)


F 4,500 = 1,200 + 300m
F 4,500 = 1,200 + 300m

G 4,500 = –300 + 1,200m
G 4,500 = –300 + 1,200m

H 4,500 = 300 + 1,200m
H 4,500 = 300 + 1,200m

J 4,500 = 1,200 – 300m
J 4,500 = 1,200 – 300m

Answer 1

Answer:

$4500 = 1200 + 300m$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Total = 4500$

$Base\ Amount = 1200$

$Payment = 300$ monthly

Required

Write an expression to determine the number of months

The total can be expressed using:

$Total = Base\ Amount +Payment * Number\ of\ months$

Substitute value for each term

$4500 = 1200 + 300 * m$

$4500 = 1200 + 300m$

Hence:

Option F answers the question
