The amount Jerry paid in interest is $1,040.

Given to us,

Jerry's principal amount = $ 22,000,

quarterly payment for each quarter = $ 640

Total time for which Jerry paid each quarter = 9 years

As We know that in a year there are 4 quarters,

so, $\rm 1\ year = 4\ quarters$ ,

$\rm 9\ year = 9\times 4\ quarters$ ,

9 years = 36 quarters,

The total amount paid by Jerry for nine years in each quarter =

quarterly payment for each quarter x no. of quarters for which amount paid

$\rm Total\ amount\ paid\ by\ Jerry\ for\ nine\ years\ in\ each\ quarter = \$640\times 36 quarters = \$23,040$

Thus, the total amount paid by Jerry for nine years in each quarter is $23,040.

Therefore,

$\rm Amount\ Jerry\ pay\ in\ interest = Amount\ Jerry\ paid- Principal\ amount$ ,

$\rm Amount\ Jerry\ pay\ in\ interest = \$23,040-\$22,000 = \$1040$

Hence, the amount Jerry paid in interest is $1,040.
