I have a table to work from for the answer, but I am stuck

Here is the table . . .

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $\text{Interest Rate}$

$\begin{array}{c|ccccc}
\text{Years} & 7.0\% & 7.5\% & 8.0\% & 8.5\% & 9.0\% \\ \hline
15 & 111.255958 & 107.873427 & 104.640592 & 101.549693 & 98.5934088 \\
30 & 150.307568 & 143.017627 & 136.283494 & 130.053643 & 124.281866
\end{array}$
They've already done the hard work for us . . .

On the table, look up "7.5% and 15 years" . . . We find: $107.873427$

Multiply by the montly payment: . $1200 \times 107.873427 \:=\:129388.2512$

Therefore, Jack can borrow up to \$129,388.25 with a 15-year loan.
