In $2021,$ a standard $30-$year fixed mortgage in the US could be had for somewhere around $3\%.$ Following a series of interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve, that number is now above $7\%.$ Suppose in $2021$ you were interested in buying a house worth $$586,000$ by taking out a $30-$year mortgage at $3\%$ rate and $20\%$ down payment. How much higher will your monthly mortgage payments be now for the same house at a $7\%$ rate $($same house price and percent down payment$).$ Answer in whole dollars.

Cannot be empty

Hint

First, calculate the monthly payments at $3\%$ rate. Then, calculate them at $7\%$ rate. How much higher are the payments at the higher rate? Subtract the payments at $7\%$ from those at $3\%.$

Don't forget about the down payment when calculating the monthly payments.
