You want to go to a school that will cost you $120,000 for a four year degree. After financial aid, you will only have to pay 50% of that amount. After you calculate the 50%, you will only have to pay 70% of that amount because you get a grant that you don't have to pay back for 30% of your school cost. You will have to take the remaining amount out as a loan. You want to pay this loan back over a period of 15 years, but each year there is an interest rate of 5% on the principal (original) loan amount. How much money will you end up paying at the end of 15 years, including the principal loan amount + 5% of that amount every year for 15 years?
120,000 -- 60,000 -- 42,000
42,000 times 0.05 = 2100 x 15 (years) =
31,500 (interest) + 42,000 (principal) = $73,500
