Explanation:

Sure, I can help you with the calculations for buying a $169,000 home with a 10% down payment and a 30-year loan at 3.65% interest.

The amount of the down payment is 10% of the total cost of the home, which is $169,000, so the down payment is:

0.1 x $169,000 = $16,900

The remaining amount of the home that needs to be financed is:

$169,000 - $16,900 = $152,100

To calculate the monthly payment for the 30-year loan at 3.65% interest, we can use the formula for a fixed-payment loan:

P = (r * A) / (1 - (1 + r)^(-n))

where:

P = monthly payment

r = monthly interest rate (3.65% / 12 = 0.00304167)

A = loan amount ($152,100)

n = total number of payments (30 years * 12 months/year = 360)

Plugging in the numbers, we get:

P = (0.00304167 * $152,100) / (1 - (1 + 0.00304167)^(-360))

P ≈ $698.80

So the monthly payment for the loan is approximately $698.80.
