Answer 4

This is how I solved the problem: http://dpaste.com/hold/789078/
The first thing is brackets. I would set your problem up like this: http://dpaste.com/hold/789082/
The next thing is how you are calculating the minimum monthly payment. It is not compounding. To do this you need to update "a". This is what I think you are going for: http://dpaste.com/hold/789095/
