OpenStudy (anonymous):

im confused about what im supposed to do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not everyone have ms office

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@saifoo.khan @luis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

isn't this just a multiplication problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[644.30\times 12\times 25\] is the total you pay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know ive been trying to figure it out. i did try multiplying the payments by the years but that wasnt right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you pay monthly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok that's right. i was multiplying bu just the years instead of years times frequency of payments

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why isnt the 2nd blank 155811.6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dunno i didn't compute

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nevermind!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[644.30\times 12\times 25-865.62\times 12\times 25\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no that is wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it wanted me to get that answer and then subtract it from the previous to get the difference

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[644.30\times 12\times 25-865.62\times 12\times 15\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help with this one too please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i would if i could, but i have absolutely no idea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is some formula for this that you derive by summing a geometric series, but i don't know it. maybe it is in your book?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dont have the book. lol i have the annuity formula along with the compounding interest and simple interest formulas

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i guess this requires the annuity formula, because you are investing every month (or year)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah thats what i used... i dont really understand the 2nd half of the question though....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the invest up to 2,900 part

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use the formula for yearly at 2,900 per year

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't know it, so i can't do it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or maybe i use the compound formula: A=P(1+ r/n)^nt
