Answer:

32.34 months

Explanation:

A = monthly payment amount P = loan amount i = monthly interest rate n = total number of payments.

A = 750, P = 18000 i = 0.019 n = n.

Need to find n.

Monthly payment formula is:

[tex]A=\frac{P*i}{1-(1+i)^{-n} }[/tex]

[tex]1-(1+i)^{-n}=\frac{P*i}{ A}\\1-(1+0.019)^{-n}=\frac{18000*0.019}{ 750}\\[/tex]

[tex]1-(1+0.019)^{-n}=0.456\\-(1+0.019)^{-n}=0.456-1\\(1+0.019)^{-n} = 0.544\\-n * ln(1.019) =ln (0.544)\\[/tex]

[tex]-n * 0.018821754241 =-0.60880603213\\n= 32.34 months[/tex]
