NANCY IS GOING ON A TRIP THAT COST 4800.00 PLUS 216. FOR TAX SHE IS DEPOSITING 1200. SHE WILL PAY IT OFF IN 24MONTHS WHAT ARE HER PAYMENTS? i KNOW THE ANSWER BUT DO NOT KNOW HOW TO WRITE IT AS AN EQUATION, pLEASE SHOW ME.
i know the answer i need an equation.there is no interest thanks

monthly payment = (4800 + 216 - 1200)/24

30x=248

8.26

To find the monthly payments Nancy will make to pay off the trip, we need to set up an equation.

Let's break down the information given:

Total cost of the trip: $4800.00
Tax: $216.00
Deposit made: $1200.00
Number of months: 24
Interest: None

To find the monthly payments, we need to subtract the deposit and tax from the total cost to determine the remaining balance. Then, we divide the remaining balance by the number of months Nancy will be paying off the balance.

The equation can be written as:

Payment = (Total cost - Deposit - Tax) / Number of months

In this case, the equation would be:

Payment = ($4800.00 + $216.00 - $1200.00) / 24

Simplifying this equation further, we get:

Payment = $3780.00 / 24

Finally, dividing the remaining balance by the number of months, we find:

Payment = $157.50.

So, Nancy's monthly payments to pay off the trip will be $157.50.
