    Tony will pay interest of $16.5 as part of the first loan payment

    Explanation:

    Monthly loan payment includes the interest portion of the month and and principal payment for the month.

    As per given data

    Amount of Loan = $3,300

    Interest rate = 6% annually = 0.5% monthly

    Loan Payment per month = $146.26

    First calculate the monthly interest on the due balance

    Interest payment = Amount due x Interest rate

    Interest payment = $3,300 x 0.5% = $16.5

    Now calculate the principal payment after deducting the interest portion from the monthly payment.

    Principal Payment = $146.26 - $16.5 = $129.76
