simple interest problem

by Chinn_asama » Thu Jul 05, 2012 6:19 am
Hi

What annual payment will discharge a debt of 6,450 due in 4 years at 5% per annum simple interest?

I tried to do by using the I=ptr formula, sum the interest and the principal and finally divide it with 4. But apparently that is not the way to do it.

Thanx
