1. **State the problem:**
We have a car with a sale price of 15200.
A 10% discount is offered for paying cash.
The car can also be bought by making 24 payments of 755 each.
2. **Calculate the amount of the cash discount:**
The discount is 10% of 15200.
$$\text{Discount} = 0.10 \times 15200 = 1520$$
3. **Calculate the cash price of the car:**
The cash price is the sale price minus the discount.
$$\text{Cash price} = 15200 - 1520 = 13680$$
4. **Find the cost of the car if the payment plan is used:**
The total cost is 24 payments of 755.
$$\text{Total cost} = 24 \times 755 = 18120$$
5. **Calculate how much money would be saved by paying cash:**
The savings is the difference between the payment plan cost and the cash price.
$$\text{Savings} = 18120 - 13680 = 4440$$
**Final answers:**
(a) Discount amount: 1520
(b) Cash price: 13680
(c) Payment plan cost: 18120
(d) Savings by paying cash: 4440
