Solution:

Loan Amount=P=100000*80%=$80000
Interest Rate=i=6%/12=0.50% per month
Number of periods=n=12*30=360
Monthly Payments=R=?

R=(P*i)/(1-1/(1+i)^n)
=80000*0.5%/(1-1/(1+0.5%)^360)
=$479.64

Monthly Mortgage constant= R/P=479.64/80000=0.0059955=0.59955%

Let us make following amortization schedule.
