Q. Josue wants to buy a car for $12,000, but can only get a loan from the bank for $10,080. What percentage does Josue have to put down in order to pay for the car?Answer:
Calculate Down Payment: We know:Total car price: $12,000Loan amount: $10,080To find out how much Josue has to pay as a down payment, we subtract the loan amount from the total car price.Down payment = Total car price - Loan amount= $12,000 - $10,080= $1,920
Calculate Down Payment Percentage: Now we need to calculate the down payment as a percentage of the total car price. Down payment percentage = (Down payment/Total car price)×100= ($1,920/$12,000)×100= 0.16×100= 16%
