The expression used to calculate the money in an account, I, after t years at a given yearly interest rate is calculated using the equation I=150(1.2)t. In order to find the monthly interest rate, the given equation must be rewritten.

OpenStudy (student852):

Choose the values that complete the equivalent expression that can be used to find the approximate monthly interest rate.

OpenStudy (student852):

I=150(__)^12t Approximate monthly interest rate:___%

OpenStudy (will.h):

okay at 1st they gave you the interest rate as 1.2 per year how can you change that into monthly? simply divide it by 12 since a year has 12 months

OpenStudy (student852):

0.1?

OpenStudy (will.h):

So your new monthly expression would be \[l = 150(\frac{ 1.2 }{ 12 })^(12t)\]

OpenStudy (student852):

so what would the monthly interest be then?
