Answer 1

Sofia's monthly payments will be $ 1,222.22.

Explanation:

Given that Sofia is purchasing a home for a list price of $ 245,000, and she has a down payment of $ 25,000 and takes out a 20 year mortgage for the remainder at 5 annual interest, to determine her monthly payments the following calculation must be performed:

((245,000 - 25,000) x 0.05 x 20 + (245,000 - 25,000)) / 30 x 12 = X

(220,000 x 0.05 x 20 + 220,000) / 360 = X

(11,000 x 20 + 220,000) / 360 = X

(220,000 + 220,000) / 360 = X

440,000 / 360 = X

1,222.22 = X

Therefore, Sofia's monthly payments will be $ 1,222.22.
