OpenStudy (anonymous):

$970 at 4 1/4 simple interest for 2 years

OpenStudy (lucaz):

41/4 = 4.25 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (lucaz):

so it's 4.25% per month?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (lucaz):

the formula is P(1+rt), where P is the initial principle $970, r is the rate 4.25% or 0.0425 and t is the period 2 years = 24 months

OpenStudy (lucaz):

4.25% per month is 0.0425 4.25% per year would be 0.0425/12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so yuo divide it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
