I was going thru the hsc exam and I dont no how 2 do this question

Furniture priced at $20 000 is purchased. A deposit of 15% is paid.

The balance is borrowed using a flat-rate loan at 19% per annum interest, to be
repaid in equal monthly instalments over five years.

What will be the amount of each monthly instalment? Justify your answer with
suitable calculations
first find the amount to be repaid:
15% of 20 000 = $3000
20 000 - 3000 = $17000

Find the simple interest:
I = PRN
I = 17 000 x 19% x 5
I = $16150

then work out the monthly repayment
17000 + 16150 = $33150

number of instalments = 60

33150 divided by 60 = $552.50

0.15 x 20 000 = 3000$ deposit.

19%x5x17000= 16150 interest

17000+16150 = 33150$

5x 12 = 60 months.

33150 / 60 = 552.50 per month not including deposit

I was just assuming this is the answer, i suck at general stuff.
thats right :) good work! spesh since you're in prelim!

It's just Mathematics, babes.

Change to Advanced now!
I did Standard and topped my school in the external and still only got 94.75 and English dragged me down A LOT.
Change now.
Ok, i will change to mathematics just for your self gratification. But i'm doing standard, babes.

are you series? It wasn't even that hard. If i had a dollar for anytime someone asked me why i was doing standard, I'd own a 20 dollar note. I picked standard, because i was stupid (and i can't change anymore, i can only move up- that is a completely different story). and cafs sadkasjdkasjd best things since procrastination. It makes studying somewhat enjoyable. Love it.

Lucky you..looks like you had a tutor.
How much did she get?
i mean beat my sister to the state rank, i.e. she is doing cafs in 2013 as well. i didn't have a tutor I just memorised the textbook and regurgitated and linked to wellbeing.
