What steps could you have done to show how to arrive to that 636.68 figure? This seems lack-luster and not incredibly helpful. It gives the student an endpoint to compare their final result, but no real way to check where they went wrong.

Luke J.: A = P (r (1+r)^n) / ( (1+r)^n -1 ), where A is the monthly payment, P is principal, r period interest rate, n number of payment. More arithmetic than anything else.
