<span>There is a formula for a loan : A = P * r * ( r + 1 ) ^n / (( r + 1 ) ^n - 1 ), where P is the loan and A is the monthly payment. So P = $4,250 and r = 0.1325 : 12 = 0.011. ( 13.25 % = 0.1325 and we divide it by 12, because the interest is compounded monthly ). A = 4,250 * 0.011 * 1.011^(24) / ( 1.011^(24) - 1 ) = 4,250 * 0.11 * 1.3 / 0.3 = 4,250 * 0.0477; A = $202.55. Finally we have to multiply this sum by 24 : the total finance charge: $202.55 * 24 = $ 4,861.20. Answer: D ) $4,861.20 </span>

Hello,
1) Verify if it is a 2 degree.
2) y=ax²+bx+c
Calulate a,b,c by Gauss's methode
a=3, b=0,c=-1
y=3x²-1
500 at 40 each = £20000
To make a profit he needs to make more than £20000
20 broke so he sold 500-20 = 480 at 45 each.
480 x 45 = 21600
Profit = 21600 -20000 = 1600
His profit was £1,600
