Question 1:
Ricky and Lucy have decided to refinance their home mortgage loan. Their current home mortgage loan is for $600,000. The mortgage interest rate is 5.75% and it is to be paid off in 30 years with equal monthly payments. After 3 full years of payments, Ricky and Lucy will refinance the balance at 3.0%, to be paid off in 15 years with equal monthly payments. What will Ricky and Lucy's new monthly payments be?

Question 2:
One of the largest automobile dealers in the city advertises a 4-year old car for sale as follows:
• Cash price $6599
Or
• A down-payment of $1000 with 48 monthly payments of $179.99
Questions: A student bought the car and made a down payment of $2000. The dealer charged her the same interest rate used in the advertised offer.
