Based on the interest rate, the cost of the bike, and the period of payment, Samatha will pay $721.71.
Samatha will pay a certain amount monthly. That amount can be found as:
Loan amount = Amount x ( 1 - ( 1 + rate) ^-number of periods) / rate
Solving gives:
700 = Amount x ( 1 - (1 + 2.95%/12) ⁻²⁴ / 2.95%/12 months)
Amount = 700 / ( 1 - (1 + 2.95%/12) ⁻²⁴ / 2.95%12 months)
= $30.07
Total amount paid by Samatha:
= 30.07 x 24 months
= $721.71
