NOTE: since the duration was given in years, you have to convert the years to months before multiplying the cost per monthThere are 12 months in a yearHalf a year is 6 monthsHence $\frac{11}{2}$ years $=12$ months +6 months $=18$ months Method IUsing proportionality.Per month means every (1) month.If 1 month $= \text{GH₵} 9$18 months $= \frac{\text{ GH₵ } 9 \times 18 \text{ months}}{1 \text{ month}} =$ GH₵ $9 \times 18 =$ GH₵ 162.00 Method IITotal Amount paid $=$ Total Months $\times$ Cost per monthTotal amount paid $=18$ months $\times$ GH₵ 9.00 per monthTotal amount paid $=18 \times 9 = \text{GH₵} \text{1 6} \text{1 6 2 . 0 0}$
