represent this scenario.

Answer 1

256x +2.500=17860

Explanation:

So she has to pay 256 per month which means every month.So that is our reapeted fee.Because it is reapeting every month.2.500 is the fee that you have to give for down time payement but only once .So that is our One Time Fee.And 17860 is our total.Always remember that the vairable goes with the reapted fee.and our equation is reapted fee times vairaible addes to one time fee is equal to total.
