Answer: Lisa will pay $1415.52 --- Since Lisa is paying $157.28 per month, that means you add $157.28 for every month that goes by, which is the same as multiplying $157.28 by that many months!
Since you want to find out how much she pays in 9 months, multiply $157.28 by 9: [tex]\$ 157.28 \times 9= \$ 1415.52[/tex]
