Answer:

The total amount of the mortgage is $ 871879.4

Explanation:

Given as :

The cost of house = $ 175,000

The first 80% of mortgage amount = 80% of $ 175,000 = 140,000

The second 20 % of mortgage amount = 20% of $ 175,000 = 35,000

The rate of interest for 80 % mortgage = 4.75 %

The rate of interest for 20 % mortgage = 7.525 %

The time period for both mortgage is 30 years

Let The amount at 80 % mortgage =
A_1

And The amount at 20 % mortgage =
A_2

So, From compounded method


A_1 = principal ×
(1+(\textrm rate)/(100))^(\textrm time)

or,
A_1 = 140,000 ×
(1+(\textrm 4.75)/(100))^(\textrm 30)

Or,
A_1 = 140,000 ×
(1.0475)^(30)

Or,
A_1 = 140,000 × 4.02365

Or,
A_1 = $ 563311

Again


A_2 = principal ×
(1+(\textrm rate)/(100))^(\textrm time)

or,
A_2 = 35,000 ×
(1+(\textrm 7.525)/(100))^(\textrm 30)

Or,
A_2 = 35,000 ×
(1.07525)^(30)

Or,
A_2 = 35,000 × 8.81624

Or,
A_2 = $ 308568.4

∴ Total amount A =
A_1 +
A_2

I.e A = $ 563311 + $ 308568.4 = $ 871879.4

Hence The total amount of the mortgage is $ 871879.4 answer
