Solution
To calculate the percentage increase in the monthly payment from 2020 to the present, we first need to find the difference between the two amounts.
The difference is 10674.53 (2020 monthly payment) = $5160.66.
Next, we divide this difference by the original amount (the 2020 monthly payment), and multiply by 100 to get the percentage increase.
So, the percentage increase is (10674.53) * 100 = 48.34%.
Therefore, the monthly payment increased by 48.34% over 2020.
