Answer:

  $281.40

Step-by-step explanation:

A financial calculator tells you the payment for the 18-month loan is $361.46, so her total payback amount is $6506.28.

Similarly, the payment for the 24-month loan is $282.82, and the total amount repaid is 6787.68.

The shorter-term loan costs less by ...

  $6787.68 -6506.28 = $281.40

Ann can save $281.40 by choosing the shorter-term loan.
