If the balance was $1289.56 for a month, the interest can be calculated as
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2221.9+%25%22%2F12\" times $1289.56.
\n" ); document.write( "That is $\"1289.56%2A0.219%2F12\"= $\"23.53\" .
\n" ); document.write( "So the interest would be $\"highlight%2823.53%29\" ,
\n" ); document.write( "the amount applied to reduce the principal in this payment would be
\n" ); document.write( "$27.23 - $23.53 = $\"highlight%28%223.70%22%29\" ,
\n" ); document.write( "and the balance after this payment would be
\n" ); document.write( "$1289.56 - $3.70 = $\"highlight%281285.86%29\" .
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
