Thread: interest due

How much interest is due on $3500 at 6^(3/4) % for nine months?

can anybody manipulate 6^ 3/4 % how is that possible?

Is the given rate per annum, and how often is it compounded?

it is said that the interest due is 177.19 ... i only would like to know how it was being done.. thanks

I would guess the interest rate is % and is compounded semi-annually.

where did you get 6.384% ?

I misread your amount of interest...

To compute the amount of interest due, use:



where:

P = principal

r = annual interest rate

n = number of compounding periods per year

t = number of years

3500 * .0675 * 9/12 = 177.1875

So that's simple interest. No need for anything else.
