    8980 (.15) to get the 15%

    650(12) total montly payments

    so 1347(the 15%) + 7800(total payments)

    he ended up paying $9147

    $9147 - $8980

    he payed $167 more

    Firstly calcuate how much he had paid all togehter.

    Inital payment 15% of 8980=1347

    12 months of 650 = 7800

    Total paid =9147

    The difference between 9147 and 8980 is the finance charge.

    So finance charge is 167 $
