Amara has taken out a fixed rate mortgage for $125,000 at 4.04% for 20 years, or 240 months. Her payments are $730. What is the total cost of the loan?
A. $130,050
B. $175,200
C. $211,680
D. $226,000

182,427.03

Step-by-step explanation:

total cost =    r*p*n

                     1- (1+r) ^-n

Where r is the loan rate, p is the principal, n is the number of payments

rate = 4.04% / 12 months

total cost = (.0404/12)* 125000* 240

                     1- (1+.0404/12)^-240

101000

1-.44635

101000

.55364

182,427.03

Using Payments are 730 *240 months

730*240 =175200

207/8 is the right

the answer is:

the answer is:

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!
