Hello there! An example problem for this could be:
Emile is looking for a cell-phone plan. His two options are one that costs $40 up front, and costs $0.01 per text, represented by x. The second one is 15 dollars up front and costs $0.06 for each text message. Emile figures that for the first package he has to send 500 texts or more to make it less than the second one.
We need to compute the exact number of days of the loan.
Given:
Loan: 1,870
rate: 11%
term: Oct. 5 to Jan 16.
Oct 5-Oct 31: 26 days
Nov: 30 days
Dec: 31 days
Jan 16: 16 days.
total number of days: 103 days.
Interest = Principal * rate * term
Interest = 1870 * 0.11 * 103/365
Interest = 58.05
Given:
Promissory note $5,380
rate 6.2%
term: July 15 to Dec. 28
July 15 - 31 = 16 days
August: 31 days
September: 30 days
October: 31 days:
November: 30 days
December: 28 days
Total number of days is 166 days
Interest = Principal * rate * term
Interest = 5,380 * 0.062 * 166/365
Interest = 151.70
