A house sells for $\$ 230,000$ and the buyer makes a $10 \%$ down payment. Determine the down payment amou amount financed. Answer

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 \(\boxed{23000}\)
