P=412.20*(1-(1+.085/12)^-24 divided by (.085/12)
=$9068.17; do the calculations by starting with .085/12, adding it to 1, raising it to the -24 power subtracting that from 1, multiplying by 412.20 and dividing by (.085/12), rounding at the end.
24*$412.20=$9892.80, so interest is $824.63
====================
for 36 change the exponent to -36
=$9099.54
36*$287.25=$10341. Interest is $1241.46
Answer is he pays $416.83 less interest
