part a)

    PV = pmt {  (1-(1+i)-n ) / i }        PV is the financed amount at the beginning

                                                     pmt = 285.56  

                                                     i   is  interest is per month = .09/12     

                                                     n  is periods 5 1/2 years of months = 66

 

 

For part b     66 payments x 285.56       -   part a  = interest paid
