Q. Kaj wants to buy a car for $11,000, but can only get a loan from the bank for $10,120. What percentage does Kaj have to put down in order to pay for the car?Answer:
Calculate Total Price: First, we need to determine the total price of the car and the amount the bank is willing to loan to Kaj.Total price of the car: $11,000Loan amount from the bank: $10,120
Calculate Down Payment: Next, we calculate the down payment Kaj needs to make by subtracting the loan amount from the total price of the car.Down payment = Total price of the car - Loan amountDown payment = $11,000 - $10,120Down payment = $880
Find Percentage: Now, we need to find out what percentage the down payment is of the total price of the car.Percentage down payment = (Down payment/Total price of the car)×100Percentage down payment = ($880/$11,000)×100
Perform Calculation: Perform the calculation to find the percentage.Percentage down payment = (880/11,000)×100Percentage down payment = 0.08×100Percentage down payment = 8%
