to determine the amount of each monthly payment, x
. How much should Mr. Rosenthal pay each month?

Answer 1

Subtracting the deposit from the total cost of the furniture, we get:

$1,892 - $350 = $1,542

$1,542 = 24x

Dividing both sides by 24, we get:

x = $64.25

Therefore, Mr. Rosenthal should pay $64.25 each month.
