Julio's down payment was 22.08% of the purchase price.

Given that Julio just bought a $ 267,900 house, and he had a 20 year mortgage with a fixed rate of 5.875%, and Julio's monthly payments are $ 1,558, to determine what percent of the purchase price was Julio's down payment the following calculation must be performed:

(267,900 x 1.05875) - (1558 x 12 x 20) = X

582,682.50 - 373,920 = X

208,762.50 = X  

267,900 = 100

208,762.50 = X

208,762.50 x 100 / 267,900

77.92 = X

100 - 77.92 = 22.08

Therefore, Julio's down payment was 22.08% of the purchase price.
