To calculate Janelle's down payment, you can multiply the purchase price of the car by the down payment percentage.
1. First, convert the percentage to a decimal:
\[
12\% = 0.12
\]
2. Then, multiply the purchase price by the decimal:
\[
\text{Down Payment} = 11,500 \times 0.12
\]
3. Now, calculate the down payment:
\[
\text{Down Payment} = 11,500 \times 0.12 = 1,380
\]
So, Janelle's down payment was **$1,380**.
