The Present value of an annuity is given by PV = P(1 - (1 + r/t)^-nt)/(r/t)
where: P is the monthly payment, r is the annual rate = 7% = 0.07, t is the number of periods in one year = 12 and n is the number of years = 3.
18,000 - 6,098 = P(1 - (1 + 0.07/12)^-(3 x 12)) / (0.07/12)
11,902 = P(1 - (1 + 0.07/12)^-36) / (0.07/12)
P = 0.07(11,902) / 12(1 - (1 + 0.07/12)^-36) = 367.50
Therefore, monthly payment = $367.50
When you add 12, 6, 4 and 2, you will get 24. 12 of the 24 teams wear red shirts, so for every 2 teams there would be 1 team wearing red
