A person purchased a house 10 years ago for $160,000 . The house was financed by paying 20 % down and signing a 30-year mortgage at 7.75 % on the unpaid balance. Equal monthly payments were made to amortize the loan over a 30 -year period. The owner now (after the 120 th payment) wishes to refinance the house due to a need for additional cash. If the loan company agrees to a new 30-year mortgage of 80 % of the new appraised value of the house, which is $225,000 , how much cash (to the nearest dollar) will the owner receive after repaying the balance of the original mortgage?
