To calculate Mandy's monthly payments, we can use the formula for an amortizing loan payment, which is given by: \[ M = P \frac{r(1 + r)^n}{(1 + r)^n - 1} \] Where: - \( M \) is the monthly payment, - \( P \) is the principal amount (R80,000), - \( r \) is the monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12), - \( n \) is the total number of payments (in months). In Mandy's case, her monthly interest rate is \( \frac{12\%}{12} = 1\% = 0.01 \), and the total payments over ten years would be \( 10 \times 12 = 120 \) months. Plugging in these values will help you find the answer. Don’t forget to double-check your calculations and ensure you keep track of the monthly compounding nature of the interest to prevent common errors, like mixing up annual and monthly rates!
