Follow along as your teacher reads the story.
Jeff is trying to buy a used car. He is at a dealership and is negotiating with a car salesman. He can afford to put $1,200 down on a car and pay up to $275 per month.
The car salesman said Jeff needs to put more money down on the car if he wants the payments under $300. The asking price for the car is $8,500. This includes a ninety-day warranty.
Jeff told the salesman that he can’t afford to put more money down and he can’t afford higher payments. He needs to keep some money to cover* the cost of car insurance. A friend at work is selling a similar car, but it doesn’t come with a warranty.
Now read the story with your partner.
