$_____ per month

Answer 1

To determine the monthly payment for a used car that costs $3,200 over a 24-month period, you can divide the total cost by the number of months.

Here's the calculation:

\[
\text{Monthly Payment} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Number of Months}} = \frac{3,200}{24}
\]

Now solve:

\[
\frac{3,200}{24} = 133.33
\]

Thus, the monthly payment is approximately **$133.33** per month.

Based on your setup suggesting a division process, you may have shown the long division, but that confirms the monthly payment should be roughly **$133 per month**.

If you need to round, commonly you'll see vehicles financed using whole numbers, so you could round to **$133**.
