    Hi John,

    I just did the mock exam, as question I faced was to work out the APR of 1.5% per month for a credit card company. The answer is;

    (1+0.015) 12- 1 = 0.1956 =19.56%.

    On my calculator I cannot seem to get this answer when I try. Is there a specific order that I need to work this out in? (The 12-1 part I do using the squared button which I fill in with 12-1)

    Thank you.
    Suzanne

    It is ((1 + 0.015)^12) – 1

    I assume that you have a scientific calculator in which case you will have a button marked x^y.

    So it is 1.015 “x^y” 12 “=” “-” 1

    Lovely thank you! The answer in the mock exam confused me as all the font was the same size. Thanks 🙂
