What is the amount of carrying charges for a $10,000 for college if there is a 5% down payment, APR of 10%, and a 36-month repayment period? $1,217.04
$1,281.09
$1,535.44
$1,616.99

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents

i think the amount would be $140.62
