this was the question

A. $28
B. $140
C. $112
D. $168
Student Answer: D
Answer: Incorrect

My first answer was A but they said that was wrong so I retook the test answering D and they said that was incorrect as well that the correct one it was C...there is when I said! What? How come?? because no matter how I put it I always got 168 or 28 how can be 112...what Im doing wrong or not doing period?? Thanks beforehand!!
Answered by Ms. Sue
840 * 0.2 = 168

840 - 168 = 672 >> amount she will finance

672 / 6 = 112 >> monthly payments
