Question

Trevon is making payments on a computer that costs $1548. If he makes 12 equal payments, how much is three of his payments?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 387. Let's see why.

Step-by-step explanation:

The computer costs $1548. And all the 12 payments are equal.

To find one payment we need to divide the total cost to the number of payments.

$\frac{1548}{12} = 129$

Each one of the payments is $129.

To find three payment we simply follow:

129 . 3 = 387

Another solution can be;

Since we are looking for 3 of the payments we can divide it to the total payment

$\frac{3}{12}$ which equals to $\frac{1}{4}$

And we can find the answer by multiplying it with the cost which gives;

$\frac{1}{4} . 1548 =387$
