To determine how much of the 16th payment will go towards paying down the principal, follow these steps:

1. Identify the given data:
- The monthly payment amount: \[tex]$133 - The interest portion of the 16th payment: \$[/tex]14.09
- Outstanding principal: \[tex]$1,879 2. Calculate the amount of the 16th payment that goes towards the principal: - To find the principal portion, subtract the interest payment from the total monthly payment. \[ \text{Principal payment} = \text{Monthly payment} - \text{Interest payment} \] 3. Substitute the given values: \[ \text{Principal payment} = 133 - 14.09 \] 4. Perform the subtraction: \[ \text{Principal payment} = 118.91 \] Therefore, the portion of the 16th payment that will go towards the principal is \$[/tex]118.91, rounded to the nearest hundredth.
