I get a slightly different amount.
66 payments of 11.62 = $766.92
Finance charge = $766.92 - 400 = 366.92
Cumulative month-interest charges for 66 months
= 66*67/2 = 2211
Cumulative month-interest charges left to be paid after 18 months (66-18=48 months)
= 48*49/2 = 1176
Interest charges saved
= 1176/2211 * 366.92
= $195.16
66 payments of 11.62 = $766.92
Finance charge = $766.92 - 400 = 366.92
Cumulative month-interest charges for 66 months
= 66*67/2 = 2211
Cumulative month-interest charges left to be paid after 18 months (66-18=48 months)
= 48*49/2 = 1176
Interest charges saved
= 1176/2211 * 366.92
= $195.16
