Excited to buy her dream car, Molly rushes into her local Jeep dealership. Molly picks out a car, sits down at the financing desk, and hears the following: "Well, we ran your credit history. You've got a really thin file -- just a year's worth of student loan payments. The deal you saw was for 'well-qualified buyers.' The best deal we can offer you is 6.6% for 60 months. A little more bad news -- the cash allowance is also based on credit history, so you don't qualify for $500. That said, you're excited about a Jeep, and I want to see you driving one, so I can do $400 for you!" 9. Molly still has a $2500 down payment. How much loan does Molly need?
Please help me. Thankyou.
