Tom Mattson Posted June 25, 2003 Posted June 25, 2003 Don't know if you're still around, but here goes. Usually, I ask students to post what they have so far, and where they got stuck (me doing the problem for you doesn't help you at all). So, I'll speak in generalities. Originally posted by poo Robbie is planning a trip overseas and knows that he will need $15,000 to pay for the holiday. OK a) Robbie can earn 8.05% p.a. calculated monthly How much does he need to invest now if he wants to be able to pay for his holiday in 1 1/2 years time?? Well, he gets 8.05% on the principal (P) every month, so the relation for the total amount of money (T) at a rate ® and for a time (t) is: T=Prt They ask you for P, and you know everything else. b) How much does he need to invest if he can earn only 4.25% p.a. interest calculated monthly? Use the same equation. Just change the rate.
