what's up ali? Okay...I assume you have a financial calculator, yeah? Why don't you try to come up with an answer on your own and let me know what you got...I'll let you know if you were right or wrong if you tell me the steps you took to get your answer. You have to do some of the work or you'll never understand how to solve this type of problem, cool?
