Answer: $257 per month
Explanation:
Pay = monthly payment
Set the total cost equal to number of months times payment per month (which you would leave as a variable because that’s what you’re solving for).
4,626 = 18P
Divide both sides by 18 because you’re trying to isolate the P.
4,626 = 18P —-> 257 = Pr
This leaves you with an evenly split number of 257.
