d.

The correct answer is option B : Change the interest to 5.5%

Giselle wants to buy a condo that has a purchase price of $163,000.

She earns $2,986 a month and wants to spend no more than 25% of her income on her mortgage payment.

Means the maximum she will spend is dollars.

She has saved up $33,000 for a down payment.

So, loan amount or principle will be = dollars

Giselle is considering the following loan option: 20% down, 30 year at a fixed rate of 6.25%.

Lets check the monthly payment for this option:

The EMI formula is:

p = 130000

n =

r =

Putting the values in formula we get:

= $800.43

This option is not viable.

1. Change to a 15 year fixed loan means n will be and rest values will be same.

Putting the values in formula we get,

= $1114.66

This is not viable.

b.  Change the interest to 5.5%  

Now r =

Rest will remain the same and n = 360

Putting the values in formula we get,

= $738.095

This is a viable option as EMI is less than $746.50.

C. Change the down payment to 18% down

So, p =

n =

r =

Putting the values in formula we get:

= $822.97

This is also not viable.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B : Change the interest to 5.5%

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
