Pam bought a new bedroom suit for $2588.she made a down payment of $188 and paid the remaining amount in 24 equal monthly payments.How much did she pay for each monthly payment?
188-24=164
is that how to do it?
PLEASE REPLY BACK AND HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2588 - 188 = 2400
2400 / 24 = 100 per payment
164
I agree with Damon.
Part of your whole equation is 2588. A down payment is subtracting from 2588. This is:
"2588 - 188 = 2400
This is the amount after she pays the down payment.
This amount is then divided by 24. This is:
"2400 / 24 = 100 per payment"
100 is the payment paid in each month. So, 100 is the correct answer.
Your way of doing it is not the correct way. The way that Damon did it is the correct way.
I hope this helps you understand! :)
To calculate the amount Pam paid for each monthly payment, you need to subtract the down payment she made from the total cost of the bedroom suit and then divide it by the number of monthly payments.
First, let's subtract the down payment of $188 from the total cost of the bedroom suit ($2588 - $188 = $2400).
Then, divide the resulting amount by the number of monthly payments (24) to find the monthly payment amount ($2400 / 24 = $100).
Therefore, Pam paid $100 for each monthly payment.
Please note that your initial calculation of $164 seems to be incorrect. Make sure to double-check your arithmetic calculations to avoid errors.
