Question 1170446
Let's calculate the interest portion of the first month's payment.

**1. Calculate the Monthly Interest Rate:**

* APR (Annual Percentage Rate): 9% or 0.09
* Monthly Interest Rate: APR / 12 = 0.09 / 12 = 0.0075

**2. Calculate the Interest for the First Month:**

* Loan Amount: $2,000
* Monthly Interest Rate: 0.0075

Interest for First Month = Loan Amount * Monthly Interest Rate
Interest for First Month = $2,000 * 0.0075
Interest for First Month = $15

**Therefore, $15 of the first month's payment is interest.**
