Giovani Vazquez · Answer 1

The answer is C because the difference of 325,500 times 20 Percent and 325500 is the loan amount

Amber Ortiz · Answer 2

C. $260,400

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Harriet has to pay 20% down, this means she is borrowing 100-20 = 80% of the value.

80% = 80/100 = 0.8; this makes the amount borrowed

0.8 (325500) = 260,400
