Respuesta :

Answer:

$763,808.48

Explanation:

The computation of the principal amount after considering the monthly payment is shown below:

But before that first we have to determine the annual interest i.e

= $765,000 × 5.5%

= $42075

Now the one month interest rate which is

= $42,075 ÷ 12 months

= $3506.25

And, the given interest rate per month is $4,697.77

So, now the principal amount is

= $765,000 - ($4,697.77 - $3506.25)

= $765,000 - $1,191.52

= $763,808.48
