Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request in English. Please answer in English.

### Instruction:
Danielle bought a new house for $280k. She paid a $40k deposit on the house, and pays the rest using a mortgage that is spread out over 10 years. Danielle makes equal payments every month and at the end of the 10 years, the entire balance will be paid off. How much, in thousands of dollars, does Danielle pay each month?

### Response:
The mortgage is for $280k purchase price – $40k deposit = $<<280-40=240>>240k.
This is paid over 10 years, so the mortgage payments are $240k mortgage balance / 10 years = $24k per year.
Since there are 12 months in a year, Danielle pays $24k per year / 12 months = $2k per month.
