If someone owed you $3,000.00 for five months at 8 percent interest how much would they have to pay you in interest?

    Assuming your simple interest rate is 8% per year (not dealing on a daily basis), after 5 months he would owe you $100.00 in interest. Naturally, he better put up the other $3K or his interest will continue.
    It's too late for me, save yourself.

    Simple interest, very simple, at 8%, is .667% [of the principle] per month.

    $3000 x .00667 = $20 a month.

    Next time charge 12%. The math is easier. [1% of principle due per month].

    Before I clicked on the thread I thought bpost wanted to know what 2+2 was.[:D]
    I was close though 8% of 3k isn't hard to figure without a calculator.[8D]
