<h3>What is compound interest?</h3>

Compound interest is the amount charged on the principal amount and the accumulated interest with a fixed rate of interest for a time period.

The formula for the final amount with the compound interest formula can be given as,

$A=P\times\left(1+\dfrac{r}{n\times100}\right)^{nt}\\$

Here, A is the final amount (principal plus interest amount) on the principal amount P of with the rate r of in the time period of t.

Gertrude will graduate four years after taking out the loan. if the loan has an interest rate of 6.8%, compounded monthly, and Gertrude makes monthly payments.

$5500=P_{mt}\times\left(1-\dfrac{6.8}{12\times100}\right)^{-12\times10}\\P_{mt}=63.29$
