g Judy recently purchased her first home for $220,000. She made a down payment of $20,000, and financed the balance over 15 years, at 9% interest. If Judy's first payment is due on October 1 of this year, approximately how much interest will she pay in this year

interest paid this year = $1,320

Explanation:

First of all, let us calculate the dollar value of the interest on the loan.

interest rate in percentage = 9% of $220,000

∴ interest in dollars = 9/100 × 220,000

= 0.09 × 220,000 = $19,800

Next, we are told that the loan was financed over 15 years. Assuming that Judy paid the interest equally over the 15 years, we will simply divide the total interest by 15, to get the interest for each year (including this year):

interest this year = 19,800 ÷ 15 = $1,320

Therefore interest paid this year = $1,320

answer; im thinking the correct answer is (7years);
