Question

237,200
237,700
240,000
276,500
none of these choices are correct

Answer 1

Selling price of the home = $296,500

down Payment is;

`(20)/(100)*296500=59,300`

Mr. Cortez has paid $59,300 out of $296,500.

Thus the amount left for the bank to finance as a mortgage loan is;

`296500-59300=237200`

Option A : $237,200 is correct
