    B. Addison can eliminate $45 from Food/Clothes and $41 from Entertainment

    Amortization Computation

    A = P r (1+r) ^n / (1+r) ^n

    where

    r = APR/12

    = 18%/12

    = 1.5% monthly interest

    n = y*12

    = 24 months

    A = 3450[0.015 (1+0.015) ^24 ] / [ (1+0.015) ^24) - 1]

    A = $172.24 Addison's monthly amortization

    Addison' deficit = $172.24-$86.25

    = $85.99 approximately $86

    Answer:

    b = $45 clothes + $41 entertainment = $86
