Question

Rebecca Whitaker purchased a new flat screen television for $767. She made a 20% down payment and financed the remainder. What amount did she finance?

$767.00
$665.00
$617.50
$613.60

Answer 1

To find the 20 % down payment, you do the following:

767 * 0.2 = 154.4

Then you subtract this down payment from the total to get the remaining amount

767 - 154.4 = 613.6 which is the answer.

Answer 2

$613.60.

Explanation:

Given : Rebecca Whitaker purchased a new flat screen television for $767.

To Find: She made a 20% down payment and financed the remainder.

Solution:

Cost of flat television = $767

She made a 20% down payment.

So, Down payment =
`20\% * 767`

=
`(20)/(100) * 767`

=
`153.4`

So, Payment left =
`767-153.4`

=
`613.60`

We are given that she financed the remainder.

So, She financed $613.60.
