Help check my work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sydney possesses a credit card with an APR of 21.34% compounded daily. What is the APY on this credit card?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so I did APY=(1+p)^n - 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i plugged in 21.34/365 = 0.2134

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so than I did (1+0.2134) and get 1.2134

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but when I multiply that to the power of 365 I got this extremely long 20 number

OpenStudy (alexwee123):

should be 0.2134/365 remember that 21.34 is a percent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ye but in my notes it says i should divide it by 356 or did I just messed up adnd wrote the wrong thing

OpenStudy (alexwee123):

you wrote the wrong thing :/ it's 0.2134/365 not 21.34/365

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh let me try and sove it with that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so after I get 1.2134 do I multiply it by the power of 365

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the last part is what confuses me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok I got 21.34 because I did what I got when I dived and multiplied it by 365 and got 21.34

OpenStudy (alexwee123):

you would not get 1.2134

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 5.85 as my answer when I did 0.2134X365 and multiplied my answer by 365
