Mark takes out a $238,000 mortgage for 30 years. Instead of paying his monthly payment of $1,220.09, he decided to pay $1,420.09. This leads to Mark paying off the entire mortgage in 22 years and 5 months. Mark calculates the percent of the total loan he pays back in interest with and without the extra payments. What is the difference between Mark's calculated percentages?

24.04%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mortgage = $238,000

Number of years = 30

Monthly payment without extra payment= $1220.09

Monthly payment with extra payment = $1420.09

Total amount paid :

Number of months * monthly payment

12 months = 1year

30 years = (30 * 12) = 360 months (without extra payment)

22 years 5 months = (22 * 12) + 5 = 269 months (with extra payment)

Amount paid without extra payment :

$1220.09 * 360 = $439232.4

Percentage of total loan paid as interest :

((439232.4 - 238000) / 238000) * 100%

= 0.8455142 = 84.55%

Amount paid with extra payment :

$1420.09 * 269 = 382004.21

Percentage of total loan paid as interest :

((382004.21 - 238000) / 238000) * 100%

= 0.6050597 = 60.51%

Difference between percentages:

84.55% - 60.51% = 24.04%

step-by-step explanation:

given the function as;

write the equation replacing f(x) with y

form   and fill a table containing values of y with corresponding values of x

you can take a range for   values of x as -3≤x≤3

solving for x=-3

for x=-2

repeat the same procedure to get the values of y for the remaining ,x=-1 to x=3

plot the values of y against values   of x and obtain the following graph
