    D) Leo would save more, because he borrowed $5000 more in principal.

    Explanation:

    I guess the question should say who would save more by paying 1 year earlier, since they are 6-year loans, the concept remains the same.

    Leo borrowed $82,000, while Jackson borrowed $77,000. That means that Leo borrowed $5,000 more.

    The more you borrow, the higher the interest payment. If both loans have the same APR 10.3% compounded monthly, then the only difference results from the principal amount. Since Leo pays more interest, if he decides to pay the loan earlier, he will save more money.
