A$75,000
B$300,000✓ Correct
C$325,000
D$350,000
Explanation
Down payment = 20% × $375,000 = $75,000. Loan amount = $375,000 − $75,000 = $300,000. To solve this, multiply the relevant values: $375,000 at 20%.. The correct answer is $300,000.. This is a common calculation on the Indiana real estate exam.
