Compound interest :
Given that,
You borrow $199,000 to buy a house. the mortgage rate is 5.5 percent, compounded monthly.
Principal[tex]P=199000,r=5.5/12,t=30*12=360 month[/tex]
Amount,[tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{100} )^{t}[/tex]
Substitute values in above equation.
[tex]A=199000(1+\frac{5.5}{1200} )^{360} \\\\A=199000*5.19\\\\A=1032290.18[/tex]
Interest amount is,
[tex]=A-P\\\\=1032290.18-199000\\\\=\$833290.17[/tex]
