Answer:
Tony will pay interest of $16.5 as part of the first loan payment
Explanation:
Monthly loan payment includes the interest portion of the month and and principal payment for the month.
As per given data
Amount of Loan = $3,300
Interest rate = 6% annually = 0.5% monthly
Loan Payment per month = $146.26
First calculate the monthly interest on the due balance
Interest payment = Amount due x Interest rate
Interest payment = $3,300 x 0.5% = $16.5
Now calculate the principal payment after deducting the interest portion from the monthly payment.
Principal Payment = $146.26 - $16.5 = $129.76
