Question 1101016:  1.	Suppose your parents are interested in buying a house that will cost $180,000. They will use the equity in their present house to make a 20% down payment on the new house and finance the rest with a 30-year mortgage at an interest rate of 6.5% compounded monthly. What will the monthly payment be? And how much interest will be paid?

You can  put this solution on YOUR website! $144000 financed 
144000=P(1-(1+.065/12)^-360 divided by (.065/12) is the basic set up. 
Can multiply through by (.065/12) 
758.33=P(1-(1+.065/12))^-360 
compute the (1+.065/12)^-360 first, then subtract from 1, then divide the $758.333 by that 
$884.90. ANSWER for monthly payment 
================== 
multiply that by 360 for total payments=$318564. 
Subtract the 144000 from that for interest payments, and that is $174,564.
