Todd is able to pay $180 a month for 5 years for a car. if the interest rate is 4.9 percent, how much can todd afford to borrow to buy a car

If you turn the years into months(60) and multiply it by the 180 per month =, you end with 10,800 then multiply that by .49 because its a percent and get a total of 5,292. Finally add the 10,800 and 5,292 and the answer is $16,092.

First step is to get rid of the square root. remember that a square root is the same as raising to the (1/2) power. see below: multiply exponents per exponent rules to get: remember you subtract exponents from the denominator and add exponents in the numerator so: simplify further: so a is the correct choice. if you don't understand this google exponent rules and it will you understand. look at the image results.
