Question

Answer 1

Answer:

Well I can't make a table but I can explain the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

So you have $1,800 on a payment plan.  In three months, the balance is 1,350.  So 1,800-1,350=450.  This means he paid $450 in three months.  450/3 is 150.  He pays $150 a month.  Then 2 months later, (5 months after purchase) he has balance is $1,050.  1,350-1,050=300.  300/2=150.  Further evidence of the fact that he pays 150 dollars a month.  This means that the 6th month, he will have $900 dollars left on the payment.  7th month... $850, 8th month... $600, 9th month... $450, 10th month... 300 dollars, 11th month... 150, and 12 month he will have paid off all of his computer.  Hope it helps, sorry it is so long.  Have a great day!  :D
