Question 1080420: Jennifer borrowed $3600 from the bank in order to buy a new piano. She will pay it off by equal payments at the end of each week for 2 years. The annual interest rate is 4.4%. Determine the size of payments, and the total interest paid.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! The following formula is used to calculate the fixed monthly payment (P) required to fully amortize a loan of L dollars over a term of n weeks at an weekly interest rate of c. [If the quoted rate is 6%, for example, c is .06/52 or 0.0011538461]: P = L[c(1 + c)^n]/[(1 + c)^n - 1].
So,in this example we have:
P=3600[(0.00084615384(1+0.00084615384)^104]/[(1+0.00084615384)^104-1]
P=3600[0.00092395556]/[0.09194748944748435113000706288373]
P=$36.18/week
