    Hi there, here is the solution:

    36 months

    Years payable 36 months / 12 months = 3 years

    Annual interest rate $9,450 x 17% = $1,606.50

    Interest rate for 3 years = $1,606.50 x 3 yrs = $4,819.50

    Total credit $9,450 + $4,819.50 = $14,269.50

    Monthly payment $14,269.50 / 36 months = $396.375

    9 months

    Years payable 9 months / 12 months = 0.75 years

    Annual interest rate $9,450 x 17% = $1,606.50

    Interest rate for 0.75 years = $1,606.50 x 0.75 yrs = $1,204.875

    Total credit $9,450 + $1,204.875 = $10, 654.875

    Monthly payment $10, 654.875 / 9 months = $1,183.875

    Additional Monthly income job Sarah needs = $ 1,183.875 - $396.375 = $787.50
