Harrison is ready to purchase his first home. current interest rates for a fixed, 30 year mortgage are 3.6%. he wants to pay no more than $750 per month on his home. how expensive of a home can he afford?

750x12x30x1.036
=$279720.00
this works by:
we can pay 750 per month so times 12 as there are 12 months in a year. the mortgage is for 30 years so times 30, and then the mortgage is 3.6 so times 1.036 (=100%+3.6%)

Think of it as five or above give it a shove. change the 5 or above to the right to a zero and add one to the number on the left.
