PLEASE HELP!!! Monthly payment word problem with financial applications!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Misty is buying a house for $385,000. She is financing $345,500 and obtained a 15-year, fixed-rate mortgage with a 4.875% interest rate. How much are her monthly payments?

I cant get a good answer :( this is what ive done so far: M=345500 .40625(1+.40625)^180/ (1+.40625)^180-1 but cant seem to find right answer :(

Monthly interest rate is 0.04875/12 = 0.0040625. Number of payments = 15 * 12 = 180. Discounted value of all those payments must add up to 345,500.
