what did you type in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did the formula

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

in terms of numbers, what did you type in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3000(1+0.06/12)^12*5/12

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

make sure the 12*5/12 is in parenthesis

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so it should look like this 3000(1+0.06/12)^(12*5/12)
