The correct answer is "C".

If Sarah has decided to make an initial payment of $ 100, this will leave a pending payment of $ 220 (the principal). If Sarah has agreed to pay the remaining amount in monthly installments of $ 25 for the next 12 months. This means she will end up paying $ 300.

The interest paid for this product is $ 80, representing an annual rate of 67%.
