Answer:
Jeff will need $6,250 more cash at the settlement
Step-by-step explanation:
First the 75% of the home value $37,000:
[tex]0.75\cdot37000=27750[/tex]
Therefore, the value not covered by the loan is the difference between the home value and its 75%:
[tex]37000-27750=9250[/tex]
Since Jeff has already done a deposit of $3,000 as earnest money, then the cash he will need at the settlement is the difference between the $9,250 and those $3,000 of the deposit:
[tex]9250-3000=6250[/tex]
Jeff will need $6,250 more cash at the settlement
