It says for 12 month so instead they used that?
I don't know
Where does it say "12 months" in the statement?
how I will pass this class im so scared
I don't understand anything about money
or finance
I have no idea
That is what he said
my lecturer
But that's not included in the statement.
You are completely right
but I don't know
Ohhhh
He said
12/6 equal to
Two
a year is 12 month
and
I'm lost
What does year have to do with it?
Don't know, to be honest. I'm not good with financial terms.
I mean, I'd solve it as you wrote it - as a fraction of the discount to the discounted price.
Oh, wait.
Maybe the interest they are talking about is the yearly one?
Suppose the initial price is P0, the discount is ΔP > 0, the interest rate is p and the required time and the time of interest (in years) are t and T. Then we have:
(P0 - ΔP)(pt/T) = ΔP
Then try expressing p. In our case P0 = $1200, ΔP = $50, t = 1/6 y, T = 1 y.
What is pt
Product of p and t, of course.
I'm reading what u said Few times so my brain can process it
Where did the interest came from
If he already paid
The 1150$
It's interest as if you didn't have a discount, but instead just gained $50 on top of $1150.
But he had 1200$ if he didn't pay
When did they say if he pay in two month they will give him interest
The point is to think of the discount as the money you gain by just having a discount.
It's not actual direct interest.
like he gained 50 dollars?
But he gained that this month
Why he would gain another 50$?
Well, it's in two months, rather.
It's kinda weird to explain...
I'm not really sure why they even ask it to be treated as actual interest.
for example
If I wanted to buy a lamp from you in two month and you tell me if I pay now I will save 50$
So I saved 50$
Why I would gain another 50$ in second month
No, it's not like you gain it again.
It's like savings of $50 over the course of 2 months.
Omgggg so I get that part now
What does mean by the question
