Joe jay purchased a new colonial home for $260,000, putting down 20%. he decided to use loyal bank for his mortgage. they were offering a 6 1/2% for a 25-year mortgage. the principal after the first payment had a balance outstanding of:
a. $207,270.95
b. $207,720.59
c. $207,720.95
d. $207,270.59

My solution to the problem is as follows:

260000 *20%=52000 ao rest maount=208000

now 6.5% for 25%
 
now P=208000 and rate 6.5%
 
apply

p×(1+r/100)−x(1+r/100)
where x is instalment

You can now get the answer from the choices given after solving for x

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
