he borrows 9000 at the beginning of the first year.

at the end of the first year, his remaining balance is 9000 * 1.09 - 920 = 8890.

at the end of the second year, his remaining balance is 8890 * 1.09 - 920 = 8770.1.

at the end of the third year, his remaining balance is 8770.1 * 1.09 - 920 = 8639.409

the loan is paid off between 24 years and 25 years.

the remaining balance for the 25 years is shown below.
