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

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
