principle times rate times time of month

OpenStudy (anonymous):

principle x rate x time, yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I= 1250 x 5/12% x 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You would use the 3 alone if it were 3 years

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"""To convert the loan period, 'T', from years to months, you multiply it by 12, since there are 12 months in a year. Or, to convert 'T' to weeks, you multiply by 52, because there are 52 weeks in a year.""" that is from the website you just shown me

OpenStudy (anonymous):
