Answer

(a) $\approx \$55$ (b) $\approx \$250$ less

Work Step by Step

(a) Since the point ($4$, $3000$) appears to be two-third close to the contour labeled $60$, we estimate the monthly payment to be $\$55$ (b) Since the interest rate increased to $7\%$ but the monthly payment remains the same as $\$55$, the amount borrowed, that is, $\$3000$ will decrease by $\$250$
