Alender estimates that the closing costs on a $165,000 home loan will be $6,187.50. the actual closing costs were 3.5% of the loan amount. determine if the closing costs were higher or lower than the estimate and by what percent? a. higher by 0.25% b. higher by 0.5% c. lower by 0.25% d. lower by 0.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

% of estimated closing cost =

$165,000 * x% = $6,187.50

= $6,187.50 ÷ $165,000

= 0.0375

x = 0.0375 x 100

= 3.75

So,

= 3.75% of $165,000

= $5775

Therefore, the closing cost= 3.75% - 3.5% = 0.25%

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
