You can put this solution on YOUR website!
using the financial calculator at https://arachnoid.com/finance/index.html, i get the following:

inputs are:
present value = 35,290
future value = 0
number of time periods = 4 years * 12 = 48 months
interest rate per time period = 7% per year / 12 = .58333333....% per month
payments are made at the end of each month.

the calculator tells me that the monthly payment needs to be 845.06, rounded to the nearest penny.

the total payments are 58 * that = 40,562.88.
the loan amount is 35,290.
the total interest paid is the total payments minus the loan amount = 5,272.88.

here's a display of the calculator inputs and results.
