CASE VI.

To find the Interest of any given principal for any number of years, months and days, at six per ct. per annum. RULE. Bring the years and months to months, take one-sixth of the days, which annex to half the months, multiply that number by the principal, and point out three decimal places in the product. One for mills and two for cents, which will give the correct answer.

It may be asked, why we take of the days, an answer is at hand; because, 30 days is the general average of a month;-Days are therefore, thirtieths of a month, and sixtieths of half months, because the Interest of any sum at 6 per cent. is exactly per cent. a month.--Hence if of the days be taken they will become tenths, or decimals of a month.
