the principal, and point off in the product as many decimals as there are in both factors; the first two figures at the right of the separatrix are cents, and the third is mills. NOTE. If any other per cent. is required, proceed as before, and then divide the product by 6, and multiply the quotient by the rate required. The same result will be obtained if we multiply by the required rate, and divide the product by 6. 1. What is the interest of $57.50 for 10 months and 24 days? Ans. $3.105. 2.

When the interest is required on any sum, from a certain day of the month in a year, to a particular day of a month in the same, or in another year, we adopt the following RULE. Find the time by placing the latest date in the upper line, and the earliest date under it. Let the year be placed first; and the number of months that have elapsed since the year commenced annexed at the right hand, and the day of the month next; then subtract the earlier from the later date, and the remainder is the time, for which the interest is required. Then proceed as in the last rule. NOTE. Some Arithmeticians prefer reckoning the months by their ordinal number, as in operation 2d. 1.
