solved it
0.03205=10,000,000-P/P
0.03205P=10,000,000-P
1.03205P=10,000,000
= 9,689,453.03

The answer's not 9,689,408, but 9,689.408 instead

6.5%=(10,000-P)/P * 365/180

.065+=+%28%2810000+-+P%29%2FP%29+%2A+%28365%2F180%29

.065%2F%28365%2F180%29+=+%2810000+-+P%29%2FP

0.032054795+=+%2810000+-+P%29%2FP

0.032054795P = 10,000 - P ------ Cross-multiplying

0.032054795P + P = 10,000

1.032054795P = 10,000

P+=+10000%2F1.032054795, or P+=+9689.408017highlight_green%289689.408%29
