Answer :

The percent of the purchase price is, 0.01 %

The percent of the purchase price is, 0.005 %

Step-by-step explanation:

For part 1 :

Given:

Total amount = $240,000

Amount of down payment = $24.00

Formula used to calculate the percent of the purchase price.

[tex]\text{Percent of the purchase price}=\frac{\text{Amount of down payment}}{\text{Total amount}}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]\text{Percent of the purchase price}=\frac{\$ 24.00}{\$ 240,000}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]\text{Percent of the purchase price}=0.01\%[/tex]

Thus, the percent of the purchase price is, 0.01 %

For part 2 :

Given:

Total amount = $240,000

Amount of down payment = $12.00

Formula used to calculate the percent of the purchase price.

[tex]\text{Percent of the purchase price}=\frac{\text{Amount of down payment}}{\text{Total amount}}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]\text{Percent of the purchase price}=\frac{\$ 12.00}{\$ 240,000}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]\text{Percent of the purchase price}=0.005\%[/tex]

Thus, the percent of the purchase price is, 0.005 %
