Answer:
Percent increase is 4.90%.
Step-by-step explanation:
John paid $9.99 monthly per thousand on his original loan, so number of thousands are = [tex]\frac{60000}{1000}[/tex]= 60
Monthly payment at $9.99 was:
[tex]9.99\times60=599.4[/tex] dollars
Now, new monthly payment at 10.48 is :
[tex]10.48\times60=628.80[/tex] dollars
Percent increase is given as:
[tex][\frac{10.48}{9.99}-1]\times100[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{10.48-9.99}{9.99}\times100[/tex]
= 4.90%
