Explanation:

The happy couple has 40,000 in savings to cover the closing cost.

The closing cost are 1% of the amount the couple can borrow.

mortgage x 1% = closing cost

mortgage x 1% = 40,000

mortgage = 40,000 / 0.01 = 4,000,000

They can borrow up to 4,000,000 dollars which, uses all of his savings to pay the closing costs.
