$45 per month for 12 months = 45+%2A+12+=+540
Monthly payment: $168+%2A12+=+2016
Total paid: 2016+%2B+540+=+2556
a total he owes $4100

Subtract from the total he owes:
4100+-+2556+=+1544

answer: C. $1544

Yes, it is CHOICE D. That WOMAN is WRONG, yet again! 

Cost of fence: $4,100
Savings after 1 year: $215 + 12(45) = $755
Payments after 1 year: $168(12) = $2,016
Total payments (including savings) after 1 year: $755 + 2,016 = $2,771
Remaining balance: $4,100 - 2,771 = $1,329
