Let's solve the problem step by step to determine how much less per year Martina would have to pay on a [tex]$150,000 mortgage with her new credit score. 1. Identify the monthly payments for the old and new credit scores: Looking at the provided table: - For a FICO score of 665, the monthly payment is $[/tex]924.
- For a FICO score of 725, the monthly payment is [tex]$860. 2. Calculate the difference in the monthly payments: Difference in monthly payments = Old monthly payment - New monthly payment \[ 924 - 860 = 64 \] So, Martina saves $[/tex]64 each month with her new credit score.

3. Calculate the annual savings:

Annual savings = Monthly savings [tex]\(\times\)[/tex] 12 (months)
[tex]\[ 64 \times 12 = 768 \][/tex]

Therefore, Martina would save $768 per year with her new credit score.
