Question 1083066: Chloe Closson paid for her vacation to the mountains with a $3,000 installment loan at 10% for 12 months. Her monthly payments are $263.75. After five payments, the balance due was $1,786.20. If Chloe pays off the loan with the sixth payment, how much will she save? Round up to the nearest cent.
