p represents the price of the car
In the first 6 months: 0.75p - 80
In the next 6 months: 0.2p + 50
0.75p - 80 + 0.2p + 50 + 370 = p
0.95p + 340 = p
340 = 0.05p
6,800 = p
Can you answer the questions?

First six months:
0.75(6800) - 80
Divide this amount by 6 to get the monthly average
Second six months:
0.2(6800) + 50
Divide this amount by 6 to get the monthly average
If you want the average over the twelve months, add the two and divide by twelve.
