You can  put this solution on YOUR website!

------------ 
After the 10% down payment the mortgaged amount is $236,250 
Formula for monthly regular payment =[Pi]/[1-(1+i)^-N] 
where P=principal borrowed; N=# of payments; i=periodic interest rate 
--------- 
monthly payment=[236,250*.08/12)]/[1-(1+0.08/12)^-(12*15)] 
=[1575]/[0.6976039477]] 
=2257.72 
Total money paid in 15 years= 12*15*2257.72=$406,389.60 
Total interest paid = 406,389.60-236,250=$170,139.60 
--------- 
I haven't figured out the procedure on parts b and c yet. 
I suggest you post this again so others may have a look  
at it while I delve into b and c. 
Cheers,
