Question 251881
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">


Think about it this way.  Let's say you are my REALLY good friend and you are going to loan me $1000 at zero interest for a year.  What do I owe you at the end of the year?


1000 times -1 = -1000, meaning you owe me ANOTHER $1000


1000 times 0 = 0, meaning I owe you nothing


1000 times 1 = 1000, meaning I've got to give you your original 1000 back


or


1000 times 2 = 2000, meaning you actually charged me 100% interest
