\n" ); document.write( "Answer: $847\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Work Shown:
\n" ); document.write( "A = P*(1+r*t)
\n" ); document.write( "A = 700*(1+0.18*14/12)
\n" ); document.write( "A = 847\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This is a slightly longer approach:
\n" ); document.write( "i = P*r*t
\n" ); document.write( "i = 700*0.18*14/12
\n" ); document.write( "i = 147 dollars is the interest only
\n" ); document.write( "A = P+i
\n" ); document.write( "A = 700+147
\n" ); document.write( "A = 847 total due (principal + interest)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Pay careful attention to the fact that I used t = 14/12, and not t = 14, since t represents the time in years.
\n" ); document.write( "14 months = 14/12 years = 1.1667 years approximately.
