Question

Victor just bought a new television for $738.00. He made a down payment of $78.00 and will pay monthly payments of $30.00 until it is paid off.
How many months will Victor be paying? (Assume that Victor pays no interest.

Answer 1

Answer:

22

Step-by-step explanation:

738.00 - 78.00 =  660

Am subtracting because he made a down payment so I can get  the remaining of the money.

Let x = # of months

You use the remaining of the money to divide by 30 because of his monthly payments.

660 / 30x =

x = 22

Divide by 30 to isolate the variable x.
