Could someone help me with some Algebra?

OpenStudy (sunfire):

I'll try but I stink at algebra

OpenStudy (sunfire):

okay so I=PxRxT so P is principal the starting amount of money

OpenStudy (sunfire):

than you have R is rate which are supposed to be in decimals so you have to turn the percentages into decimals

OpenStudy (sunfire):

which if you are to turn 4% into a decimal what would you get?

OpenStudy (znappydooz):

I = 350 * 0.04 * T ?

OpenStudy (sunfire):

yep! and the Time would be two years

OpenStudy (sunfire):

but. There is a problem

OpenStudy (sunfire):

R is supposed to be yearly not monthly

OpenStudy (znappydooz):

So, we would change it into years? But isn't it already in years? Or would be change it to 24 months?

OpenStudy (sunfire):

no we would change it to 12 months so you have to multiply it by 12 (anyone correct me if I am wrong)

OpenStudy (znappydooz):

So if its 2 years, it would change to 24? Or would it stay as 12?

OpenStudy (sunfire):

24! sorry I didn't see that

OpenStudy (znappydooz):

Alright so it would be I = 350 * 0.04 * 24

OpenStudy (znappydooz):

Do i solve that?

OpenStudy (sunfire):

yup

OpenStudy (znappydooz):

so I = 336?

OpenStudy (znappydooz):

So then do the same for the other one?

OpenStudy (sunfire):

yup
