William Fleming · Answer 1

244.13 * 48 months = 11,718.24

Therefore, the total interest is 1,718.24

Kamari Wade · Answer 2

Given that loan balance is 10000 dollars

Interest rate = 8%.

Monthly payment=EMI. = 244.13 dollars

No of months paid = 48

Hence total amount repaid = 48x244 ... 13 = 1171824

Out of this amount repaid principal = 10000 dollars

Hence interest amount = 11718.24.-10000 = 1718.24. dollars

Formula used:. Total amount repaid = Principal +. interest

Total amount repaid = EMI. x monthly instalment.
