Total paid = $717.3

Finance charge = $167.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost price of mountain bike = $550

The down payment on bike = 75% of $550 = 0.75 * 550 = $412.5

We know that he will make 12 payments of $25.40 each so total monthly payments = 12 * 25.40 = $304.8

The total amount paid = Down payment + Total monthly payments = $412.5 + $304.8 = $717.3

The finance charge = Total amount paid - Cost price = $717.3 - $550 = $167.3
