Lynn bought a $300,000 house, paying 10% down, and financing the rest at 6% interest for 30 years.
a. Find her monthly payments.
b. How much interest will she pay over the life of the loan?
The other person is not even close. How can someone do monthly-payment calculation on a house using SIMPLE INTEREST? The correct monthly payment is: 

Now, you need to do some work!

Multiply that monthly payment by 360 (30 * 12 months), and then SUBTRACT the MORTGAGE loan ($300,000 * .9) to get the interest paid over the life of the loan. 

FYI: It is NOT 486,000.
