    interest paid this year = $1,320

    Explanation:

    First of all, let us calculate the dollar value of the interest on the loan.

    interest rate in percentage = 9% of $220,000

    ∴ interest in dollars = 9/100 * 220,000

    = 0.09 * 220,000 = $19,800

    Next, we are told that the loan was financed over 15 years. Assuming that Judy paid the interest equally over the 15 years, we will simply divide the total interest by 15, to get the interest for each year (including this year):

    interest this year = 19,800 : 15 = $1,320

    Therefore interest paid this year = $1,320
