After visiting several automobile dealerships, Richard selects the car he wants. He likes its $20,000 price, but financing through the dealer is no bargain. He has $4,000 cash for a down payment, so he needs a loan of $16,000. In shopping at several banks for an installment loan, he learns that interest on most automobile loans is quoted at add-on rates.

Total interest
b. What is the total cost of the car?
