A$55,000
B$175,000
C$200,000
D$220,000✓ Correct
Explanation
Down payment = $275,000 × 0.20 = $55,000. Loan amount = $275,000 − $55,000 = $220,000. To solve this, multiply the relevant values: $275,000 at 20%.. The correct answer is $220,000.. This is a common calculation on the Kentucky real estate exam.
