You can afford to make a down payment of $2,678.95, so the net amount to be financed is $20,000.(a) What would the monthly payment be?(b) After the 25th payment, you want to pay off the remaining loan in a lumpsum amount. What is this lump sum?

(This is because the amount you need to borrow varies widely based on the car you choose and the down payment you make.) In one recent month, a car company offered 2.9% financing on a coupe which would result in monthly payments of $22.09 per $1000 borrowed for 48 months.
For every $___ borrowed the monthly payment will be $___
