109%

We multiply 24 by 45 to get that you will end up paying a total of 1080 dollars if you use the installment plan. In order to find what percent of the original price this is, we divide 1080 by 990, the original price, to get 1.09. We multiply this number by 100 to make it a percent and get an answer of 109 percent of the original price.
