    The below is the first of paragraph in the question which is missing:

    Suppose that 10 years ago you bought a home for $150,000, paying 10% as a down payment, and financing the rest at 8% interest for 30 years.

    $22,319.00

    Step-by-step explanation:

    In order to determine the portion of the original loan that has been paid off, we need to ascertain the original loan amount as below:

    loan amount=purchase price of the home-down payment

    purchase price is $150,000

    down-payment = 10%*$150,000=$15,000

    loan amount=$150,000-$15,000=$135,000

    If the loan amount has reduced to $112,681, hence the loan amount paid off is the difference between the original loan amount and the balance now:

    original loan paid off=$135,000-$112,681=$22,319.00
