To answer your questions, let's break down the calculations based on the information provided:

  1. How much will be repaid for this loan? The total repayment for the loan is calculated by multiplying the monthly payment amount by the total number of payments (360 months).

    \[ \text{Total Repayment} = \text{Monthly Payment} \times \text{Number of Payments} \] \[ \text{Total Repayment} = 665.31 \times 360 = 239,916.60 \]

    So, the total repayment for the loan is $239,916.60.

  2. What percentage of this total is total interest? The total interest paid on the loan is $139,511.60. To find the percentage of the total repayment that is interest, we use the following formula:

    \[ \text{Interest Percentage} = \left(\frac{\text{Total Interest}}{\text{Total Repayment}}\right) \times 100 \] \[ \text{Interest Percentage} = \left(\frac{139,511.60}{239,916.60}\right) \times 100 \approx 58.1% \]

    Therefore, approximately 58.1% of the total repayment is total interest.

  3. What will be the average amount per payment for interest? To calculate the average amount of interest per payment, we divide the total interest paid by the number of payments.

    \[ \text{Average Interest per Payment} = \frac{\text{Total Interest}}{\text{Number of Payments}} \] \[ \text{Average Interest per Payment} = \frac{139,511.60}{360} \approx 387.53 \]

    Thus, the average amount per payment for interest is approximately $387.53.

Summary of Results:

  • Total amount repaid for the loan: $239,916.60
  • Percentage of total repayment that is total interest: 58.1%
  • Average amount per payment for interest: $387.53
