We need to calculate the monthly mortgage payment. Do so using this formula
P = (L*i)/( 1-(1+i)^(-n) )
where,
P = monthly payment
L = loan amount = 150000
i = monthly interest rate in decimal form = 0.038/12 = 0.00316666666666667
n = number of months = 30*12 = 360
So we have,
P = (L*i)/( 1-(1+i)^(-n) )
P = (150000*0.00316666666666667)/(1-(1+0.00316666666666667)^(-360))
P = 698.936026491846
P = 698.94
as our monthly payment
Multiply this with 360 to find the total amount Chris pays back
360*698.94 = 251,618.4
Rounded to the nearest whole dollar, the answer is choice C) $251,618. Nice job on getting the correct answer.
