Using this technique we can simplify how we display the currency.

Add query string params so that you can just pass an asking value in the URL directly. Imagine something like this:

https://downpaymentcalculator.ca?asking=850000

...would set the asking price to 850000 in the state on mount.

It would be nice if users could work backwards in their calculations. For example, if users knew how much they had for a downpayment, they should be able to enter that and see what kind of asking price they can afford.

M / P = AP

# M = Amount the user has for a downpayment
# P = Percentage multiplier 
# AP = Asking Price

Perhaps it could be a slider, where the user can slide it over based on how much money they have to spend.
