The total amount repaid will be
.. monthly payment × number of months
.. = $2,160 × 360
.. = $777,600
Subtracting the amount of the principal that was repaid gives the interest.
.. $777,600 -360,000 = $417,600 . . . . total interest paid
So you wont forget what you wrote and it helps you to figure out the problem. I hope this helps.
77.27 ft rounded to the nearest tenth is 77.3 ft
X = original amount of water
x - 8(6) = 132
x - 48 = 132
x = 132 + 48
x = 180...it originally contained 180 gallons
