Answer:

$699

Step-by-step explanation:

So each month they pay 90.87

In five months they have payed 90.87 * 5 which is $454.35

In five months they have also payed 65% of the total cost, so $454.35 is 65% of the total cost

If you divide both of the numbers by .65 then you get $699=100%

So your final answer is $699
