1. Identify the monthly payment, interest rate, and loan period:
R = 450
r = \frac{4.5}{100 \times 12} = 0.00375
n = 3 \times 12 = 36
2. Apply the loan payment formula for the present value:
P = \frac{R (1 - (1 + r)^{-n})}{r} = \frac{450 (1 - (1 + 0.00375)^{-36})}{0.00375}
Therefore, the price of the auto Daisy can afford is:
P=15127.61
2. Apply the loan payment formula for the present value:
Therefore, the price of the auto Daisy can afford is:
