From what you wrote, according to your table:

For every $100 you borrow at 8%, you pay $3.69 each month for 30 months.

So, you pay back a total of 3.69 x 30 = $110.70

But, if you borrow 2700, using your table you find that:

2700 / 100 = 27

27 * 3.69 = 99.63

So you pay back 99.63 x 30 = $ 2988.90
