Final Answer: The down payment is $\boxed{23000}$

Steps

Step 1 ：Let's denote the total cost of the house as $total\_cost$ and the down payment percent as $down\_payment\_percent$.

Step 2 ：$total\_cost = 230000$

Step 3 ：$down\_payment\_percent = 0.1$

Step 4 ：We can find the down payment by multiplying the total cost by the down payment percent.

Step 5 ：$down\_payment = total\_cost \times down\_payment\_percent$

Step 6 ：Substituting the given values, we get $down\_payment = 230000 \times 0.1 = 23000.0$

Step 7 ：Final Answer: The down payment is $\boxed{23000}$
