The total cost of Renauld’s house is $190,301.87. The technique here is to know the value of the closing costs and the down payment so the correct answer between all the choices given is the last choice or letter C. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query about this specific question.

The correct answer is:

C. $190,301.870.

Step-by-step explanation:

Paying 14% down is 0.14(170500) = $23,870.

2% closing costs are 0.02(170500) = $3410.

Adding these to the amount he pays on the loan, $163,021.87, we have:

163021.87+23870+3410 = 190301.87
