Given the statement:

Susie is paying $502.33 every month for her $150,000 mortgage payment.

Determine the interest she will pay for 30 years, if this is a 4.5% 30 year mortgage.

Solution:

In order to find for the total amount of money paid after 30 years, we simply needed to multiply first 30 by 12 to determine the number of months.

= (30)(12)

= 360 months

Multiply 502.33 with 360 to determine the total amount paid

= ($502.33)(360)

= $180,838.8

Final answer:

The interest that Susi is paying after 30 years is $180,838.8.
