Mr. hower can buy a computer with a down payment of $510 and 8 monthly payments of $35.75,If he pays cash for the computer,the cost is $699.99. how much money will he save if he pays Cash for the computer instead of paying for it in monthly payments?

Answer 1

Si paga de forma fraccionada - con un anticipo y 8 pagos mensuales el ordenador le costará 
   Pago inicial / anticipo  (down payment)..............      $510,00
   8 pagos mensuales  8 x 35,75 =........................       $286,00
                                                                              --------------------
                                                                                      $796,00
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Si paga al contado le costará.................................     $699,99
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Si paga al contado en lugar de pagar en cuotas mensuales se ahorrará 

$796,00 - $699,99 = $96,01 

* He will save $96,01 if he pays cash.
