I've borrowed $1700 from my sister and she's making me pay back 2000, so I just want to know at what interest rate or percentage or whatever she's getting me for cuz she knows I can't do math....I mean, I think she's being reasonable, she is my sister but she has been known to take advantage before, & I really needed the money to move across the state for work so I had to do it, but I just need to know for my own sanity. Thanks for your help, it's very humbling admitting I can't do math. :-D </SPAN>\n" );
