    I'm thoroughly confused over this information. I'm not sure what was given in the problem, and which are your calculations. I don't know where some of these numbers are coming from because they don't make sense. I don't know what is happening with the loan. (i.e. are they rolling the old loan into a new one? Cause if so, I don't know where you got your numbers.) The information is confusing and I don't have a clue what is going on here.

    You need to quote the problem *exactly* as it is written, with ALL information. Then separately you need to say what your own calculations are.
