  5. Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
  6. If the Helper has answered your question, remember to thank them with the Mathematics Ranks bot and close the thread with:

P = 5,000 (annual investment)
r = 0.04 (annual interest rate)
n = 10 (years)

#

Total Amount Repaid Under the Loan (Option B)
400x120=48,000 (total amount of repaid)

48,000-40,000=8,000 (interest paid)

yeah 120

cloud oxide
#

And how much are you repaying each month?

#

Multiply the two to work out the total repaid

#

Wait no

past finch
#

but how

cloud oxide
#

I’m wrong mb

past finch
#

what about the 4% per annum compounded monthly

cloud oxide
past finch
#

right…

#

and what do i rearrange it to

cloud oxide
#

i’ve never seen that formula before so i have no idea what the F means and i’m assuming the other person used AI because it’s wrong

#

okay so

tough blade
#

4 percent you just change into 0.04

past finch
#

hm

tough blade
#

The interest rate r must be written as a decimal, not a percentage.

cloud oxide
past finch
#

yeah

#

thats what i thought too

cloud oxide
#

let me j look at the formula

#

we know the monthly interest rate is 0.04/12 for one

#

so that’s our t

#

R

past finch
#

does that look right?

cloud oxide
#

4% is per year not per month

past finch
#

oh ye mb

#

how abt now

#

it gave me 3292.33 which doesn’t sound right

#

is that just the interest?

cloud oxide
#

the bottom should be 0.003 as well

past finch
#

ohh

#

so 39508.06

#

is that only the interest?

cloud oxide
#

that’s the PV

#

which seems wrong

past finch
#

yeah

#

im supposed to find the future value… arent i?

cloud oxide
#

yeah

#

so that formula is garbage

past finch
#

then what use is this formula

#

lmao

cloud oxide
#

bro said to use it 😭

#

i think that’s what ai said though

past finch
#

bro ai

#

come on
