Section 1.5: Mortgages and Credit Cards7. If you buy a $24,000 car for $1000 down and monthly payments of $492.39 for 54 months, how much will you pay in total for the car? Round your answer to the nearest dollar.$

Given:
Cost of car = $24000
Down payment = $1000
Monthly payments = $429.39
Number of months = 54
Let's find the total payment you will make for the car.
To find the total payment, apply the formula:
Total payment = Down payment + (monthly payment x number of months)
Total payment = 1000 + (492.39 x 54)
Total payment = 1000 + 26589.06 = 27589.06
Therefore, the total amount you will pay for the car to the nearest dollar is $27589
ANSWER:
$27589
