b. her monthly payments were $75 per month. if she decides not to buy the hdtv after the six months, what was her cost to rent it?

Explanation:

Step1: Calcular el valor del pago inicial

El pago inicial es el 10% del costo del televisor. El costo del televisor es de $2,100. Entonces, el pago inicial se calcula como $2100\times0.1$.
$2100\times0.1 = 210$

Step2: Calcular el costo total de alquilar

El pago mensual es de $75 y el período es de 6 meses. El costo de los pagos mensuales es $75\times6$. Además, se suma el pago inicial.
$75\times6+210=450 + 210=660$

Answer:

a. $210.00
b. $660.00
