need some one to check please
started with a debt of $1000 and now owe $1210.26. The debt has been building for ___ months. Round to the nearest whole month. (Hint: First simplify the numerator by hand, using the properties of logarithms. Then use a calculator to evaluate the numerator divided by the denominator to find the value of n.)

I broke it down to
n=log a- log p/log (1.0175)
and got
n=log(a)-57.6414 log(p)
