Part A:

Given that a dinette table with a cash price of $200 is purchased at $8.50 down and $11.00 per month for 24 months

The total installment price is given by

[tex]P=\$8.50+\$11(24) \\ \\ =\$8.50+\$264=\$272.50[/tex]



Part B:

The carrying charges is given by the total installation price minus the cash price.

From part a, we obtained that the total installation price is $272.50 and given that the cash price is $200.

Therefore, the carrying charges is given by

$272.50 - $200.00 = $72.00



Part C:

If the money is to be saved at $11 per month to be able to purchase the table at the cash price, the number of months it will take to be able to save $200 at $11 per month is given by

[tex] \frac{\$200}{\$11} =18.18\, months[/tex]

Therefore, it will take 19 months to save the money at the monthly rate needed to buy the item for its cash price.

Answer:

total installment price = $272.50

Carrying charges = $72.50

19 months needed to save the money.

Step-by-step explanation:

a dinette table with a cash price of $200 at $8.50 down and $11.00 per month for 24 months

(a) Cash price is 8.50, $11.00 per month for 24 months

Total installment price = cash price + 11 for 24 months

= 8.50 + 11* 24

= 8.50 + 264 = 272.50

So total installment price = $272.50

(b) Original price of table = $200

Total installment price = $272.50

Carrying charges = Total installment price - Original price  

= 272.50 - 200- 72.50

Carrying charges = $72.50

(c) monthly rate = $11

Number of months needed to save = original price divide by monthly rate

= [tex]\frac{200}{11} = 18.18[/tex]

So, 19 months needed to save the money.
