OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry its sum

OpenStudy (perl):

lets say, a certain sum

OpenStudy (perl):

ok :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could u now help me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what i typed is evrything the sum says

OpenStudy (perl):

lets assume it reckons yearly

OpenStudy (perl):

so n = 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so whats the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and i think its r/100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is 1 + r/100 and not r/n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7774.63?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that the answer provided

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its next to the sum

OpenStudy (perl):

ok let me look at this again

OpenStudy (perl):

one moment

OpenStudy (phi):

remember they only give the interest accrued.

OpenStudy (phi):

4240+P = P ( 1 + 10/100)*(1 + 15/100)

OpenStudy (perl):

right 4240 is just the interest I should have used interest = 4240 P(1 + 10/100 ) (1 + 15/100) - P = 4240

OpenStudy (perl):

total investment - principal = interest accrued

OpenStudy (perl):

P [ (1+ .1) (1+.15) - 1 ] = 4240 P = 4240 / .265

OpenStudy (perl):

can you answer it now?

OpenStudy (perl):

I did not get 7774
