If the balance was $1289.56 for a month, the interest can be calculated as
%2221.9+%25%22%2F12 times $1289.56.
That is $1289.56%2A0.219%2F12= $23.53 .
So the interest would be $highlight%2823.53%29 ,
the amount applied to reduce the principal in this payment would be
$27.23 - $23.53 = $highlight%28%223.70%22%29 ,
and the balance after this payment would be
$1289.56 - $3.70 = $highlight%281285.86%29 .
