  1. Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
  2. Once someone helps you, say thank you and close the thread with:

  1. Feel free to nominate the person for helper of the week in #helper-nominations
  2. Do not ping the mods, unless someone is breaking the rules.

Do you know the difference between simple and compounded interest?

All I know is compound interest is bigger than simple interest?

Simple interest takes the initial amount, which is 30,000 in this example, and adds 12% of this amount every 6 months. So we add (30,000 X 0.12) every 6 months.

For compounded interest, we take the amount in the account currently rather than the initial amount. In the same example, (30,000 X 0.12) = 3600. We take the 3600 and add it to the 30,000 to get 33,600. Compounded we take (33,600 X 0.12) and add it to the 33,600.

You can look online for interest formulas. How often it is compounded (semi-annually, quarterly, etc.) changes the equation slightly.

Would this be correct?

For b the time that has passed isn't 1 year. In the equation you treated t=1.

#

Instead of 1 year, only 6 months have passed.
