\($5775.12\)

Show Worked Solution
\(\text{Deposit}\) \(=\dfrac{15}{100}\times 19\,500=$2925\)

\(\text{Weeks in 3 years}=3\times 52=156\)

\(\text{Total repayments}\) \(=156\times 143.27\)
  \(=$22\,350.12\)
\(\text{Total cost}\) \(=2925+22\,350.12\)
  \(=$25\,275.12\)

 

\(\therefore\ \text{Interest paid}\) \(=25\,275.12-19\,500\)
