Victoria Santos recently leased a new convertible. The $1599 due at signing includes the title and license fee. Her monthly lease payments are $700 per month. The leasing company allows 12,000 miles per year with a $0.12 per mile overage charge. If the total lease cost is $18,400, for how many months does the lease last?
Let the number of months be x
26800 = 1599. + 700x .... assuming no overmiles charge
26800-1599= 700x
25202. /700=x
x= 36 months
