Answer 1

The following statements are true:

The proportion that represents the down payment is 20/100 = x/125,000.

The down payment is $25,000.

The down payment is 15 of the cost of the house.

The other statements are not true. The proportion that represents the down payment is not 20100=125,000, as this is not a valid proportion. Additionally, the down payment is not $50,000, as this is more than the cost of the condominium.
