    a) For principal amount P, interest rate r, and number of years t, the amortization formula for the monthly payment A is ...

    ... A = P (r/12) / (1 - (1 + r/12) ^ (-12t))

    ... A = 22500· (0.06/12) / (1 - (1 + 0.06/12) ^ (-12·20)) ≈ 161.20

    The monthly payment is $161.20.

    b) After 240 payments, the amount repaid is

    ... $161.20·240 = $38,688

    c) (22500/38688) ·100% = 58.2% is paid toward principal

    The remaining amount, 41.8% is paid toward interest.
