Buying Large Appliances on Credit #13<br />

Division, multiplication, addition<br />

Major kitchen appliances are expensive. Some stores let customers buy appliances on<br />

credit with zero interest. This way, people can pay for their appliance over many<br />

months.<br />

Example: Gary paid $1200 for this cooking stove. He paid for it in 24 monthly<br />

payments.<br />

Problem: How much did he pay each month?<br />

Solution: Divide the number of months into the total cost. $1200 ÷ 24 = $50<br />

Gary paid $50 per month.<br />

Directions: Find out the monthly payments for each appliance below.<br />

1. Dan bought a fridge for $1350. He<br />

made 12 monthly payments. How<br />

much did he pay each month?<br />
