Answer 1

I = Prt

Credit Card

P = 976.34
r = 10.75% annually
t = 1/12 year

Savings

P = 100.00
r = 2.75% annually
t = 1/12 year

Go!

Where are you confused?

Answer 2

Uh..
What? What did you do there?

Answer 3

Are you familiar with the Simple Interest formula?

Answer 4

Yeah, I think. But math is my weakest point. Could you maybe walk me through the problem? Personally, I'm not able to just look at a formula and do it. My brain just can't seem to process it.

Answer 5

Like -- I can do the math, and I want to. I just can't process the formulas and such.

Answer 6

Walk you through it? Already did. Substitute and go. You'll get it - with enough practice.

Answer 7

Okay, well I have 9 days of school left. If I was gonna get it with practice, I would have, haha. I don't understand what you wrote down.

Answer 8

You MUST get the idea of substitution.

If I say:

I = Prt

And then, I say P = 45, this means

I = (45)rt

Go substitute the rest.

Answer 9

Please don't be condescending. I'm trying my best.

I think I understand now that I have it on paper, thanks. That's all I needed.

Answer 10

I'm never condescending, just honest and direct. This is often mistaken for rudeness or "condescending". You MUST learn to communicate your efforts. It just isn't good enough to make someone else show the work for you. This is your assignment, not just to understand the concepts, but to learn to communicate them well.
