The percent of the purchase price for Julio’s down payment was C. 18%

<h3>What is Interest Rate?</h3>

This refers to the amount of money that is added to a loan collected by a person, for when he makes repayment.

Hence,

Given that

We use the formula Pv=pmt [(1-(1+r/k)^(-kn))÷(r/k)]

Pv= 1,558.09×((1−(1+0.05875÷12)^(−12×20))÷(0.05875÷12))

=219,684.92

Next thing to do is make a subtraction to get the down payment:

267,900−219,684.92=48,215.08

Then the percentage would be:

48,215.08÷267,900= 18% approx.
