If there is a total of 104 weekly instalments and a third deposit, find the interest charged

A. 237.55
B. 337
C. 443
D. 334
Cash price = $3695
Deposit =1/3 of $3695
= $1231.67
Loan amount = $3695.00 − $1231.67
= $2463.33
Total cost of loan = $25.97 × 104
= $2700.88
Interest charged = total amount − loan
I = A − P
= 2700.88 − 2463.33
= 237.55

D. $506
Cash price = $21 000
Deposit = 10% × $21 000
= $2100
Loan amount = $21 000 − $2100
= $18 900
I=p*r*t/100
I=11340
Total amount = 18 900 + 11 340
= $30 240
regular payment = total amount /number of payments

A. 3.46%
B. 4.5%
C. 5%
D. 6%

Let the original rate be R%. Then, new rate = (2R)%.
Note: Here, original rate is for 1 year(s); the new rate is for only 4 months i.e.1/3 year(s).
[(725 x r x1)/100] + [(362.50 x 2r x1)/(100 x 3)] = 33.50
R=3.46%
