at a fixed APR of 12
%
for 30

years.
a. Calculate the monthly payment.
b. Determine the total amount paid over the term of the loan.
c. Of the total amount paid, what percentage is paid toward the principal and what percentage is paid for interest.

b. $83,318.40

c. Principal=27%

   Interest=73%

m-number of months in a year,

n-number of years

PM-monthly payments.
