A$64,000
B$256,000✓ Correct
C$240,000
D$280,000
Explanation
Down payment = $320,000 × 20% = $64,000. Loan amount = $320,000 − $64,000 = $256,000. To solve this, multiply the relevant values: $320,000 at 20%.. The correct answer is $256,000.. This is a common calculation on the Maine real estate exam.
