the sherman family mad a down payment of $18,375 for a new house they mortaged the remaining cost of $129,625 the interest paid for 30 years was $273,116 what was the total cost of the house

honestly this is a very poorly worded question...

it can be interpreted in several different ways

the cost of the house (for them to purchase it) was

$129,625 + $18,375 = $148,000

The total amount that they paid for the house (money spent)

was  

$129,625 + $18,375 + $273,116 = $421,116

all being said I think that the $148,000 is the answer that the question

is trying for you to figure out
