An auto dealership is advertising that a new car with a sticker price of $33,408 is on sale for $25,995 if payment is made in full, or it can be financed at 0% interest for 72 months with a monthly payment of $464. Note that 72 payments × $464 per payment = $33,408, which is the sticker price of the car.
