M = Pr/[1-1/(1+r)^n]
M = payment
r = monthly rate = 0.005
n = 20*12 = 240
809 = P*.005/(1-1/1.005^240)
P = 809/.005*(1-1/1.005^240)
P = 112920
Add in the 15000 down payment, and the selling price was 127920
However, FYI, this is simple interest, not compound interest. The annual rate is 6%, with monthly payments. At each payment, the .5% monthly interest on the unpaid balance is subtracted first, with the remainder going to reduce the principal.
