Liz is buying a home for $426,000. She is making a 22% down payment and financing the rest with a 20-year loan at 5.25% interest. What will her total payment for the home be? Round your answer to the nearest dollar. Use a mortgage table to find the monthly mortgage payment per 1000 dollars borrowed.

Explanation:

1. Mortgage table

Find attached a sample of a mortgage table per 1,000 dollars borrowed.

You have to use the number in the intersection of the row for 5.25% interest and the column for 20 years.

The number is $6.74.

That means that, for every $1,000 borrowed for 20 years at 5.25% interest you will pay $6.74 every month.

2. Amount borrowed

You will make a 22% down payment:

Thus the amount borrowed is $426,000 - $93,720 = $332,280

3. Monthly payment

Multiply the monthly payment per 1,000 by the amount borrowed divided by 1,000:

4. Total monthly payments:

Multiply the number of payments by the monthly payment.

Number of payments = 20 years × 12 payments /year = 240 payments.

5. Total payment for the home.

The total payment for the home will be the down payment plus the amount paid to the bank:

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x

answer: y=4000x+14000
