To find the total amount of interest paid, we need to find the total amount financed and subtract the down payment from it.
Total amount financed = $12,500 - $3,500 = $9,000
The total amount of payments made over the 48 months is:
48 x $240 = $11,520
The total interest paid is therefore:
$11,520 - $9,000 = $2,520
Therefore, the answer is c. $2,520
