Given,
P=$4500
r=12%
For 1 month the rate is 12/12%=1%
So interest for one month is
[tex]I=\frac{4500\times1\times1}{100}=45[/tex]a. The monthly payment is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\frac{4500\times0.01\times(1+0.01)^{12}}{(1+0.01)^{12}-1} \\ \Rightarrow A=\frac{50.70}{0.12} \\ \Rightarrow A=422.5 \end{gathered}[/tex]The monthly payment is $422.5
b. Total payment for a year is:
A=4500+(12x45)=$5040
Total amount paid since January is $5040
c. The percentage of interest is:
[tex]\frac{45\times12}{5040}\times100\%=10.71[/tex]The percentage interest is 10.71%
