Since days are always either 30ths of a month, or some greater part, as halves, 3ds, 4ths, 5ths, &c.; thus, 1 day; 2 days= , which, being reduced to its lowest terms, is; 3 days=33, or+; 5 days=355, or † ; 20 days=38, or ; it follows, that, if these parts be diminished in the same proportion as the months, that is, if half the fractional part be taken for a multiplier, the product will express the interest for the days in cents, or 100ths, which, divided by 100, as before, will be the interest required. To halve any thing, we divide by 2. Note. It will be recollected, that, to divide a fraction by 2, we can Multiply the denominator, or divide the numerator. 1.

What is the interest of $360,60 for 19 days? 19 days= 7 Hence, to find the interest of any sum for days, we have the following RULE. Q. How do you proceed first? A. I find what fractional part of a month the days are, and reduce the fraction to its lowest terms. Q. What do you make the multiplier ? A. Half of this fraction. Q. How do you halve the fraction? A. Halve the numerator, or double the denominator Q. After you have multiplied by the fraction, what is to be done with the product, to get the interest? A. Cut off two figures, as before.

The foregoing example, although it is as difficult a one as usually occurs, is solved by one third of the usual number of figures required by other methods. ↑ LXIII. It is evident, that, when the rate is either more or les than 6 per cent., the interest for the given rate will be a certain part of 5 per as much as 6 per cent., 4 per cent. cent.; thus, 5 per cent. will be much, 7 per cent. Z as much, &c. 38 To get, of any number, we multiply by the numerator, and divide by the denominator; and, as the denominator will always be 6, and the numerator the given rate, hence, To find the interest of any sum, when the rate is not 6 per cent, we have the following Q. How do you proceed? RULE. A. Find the interest for 6 per cent. as before. Q. How do you proceed next? A. Multiply the interest of 6 per cent. by the given rate, and always divide by 6. 1 What is the interest of $600 for 1 yr. 2 mo. and 15 days, at 5 per cent.? 600 7 mo. 4200 6. 150 4350 int. at 6 per cent. 5 6) 21750 Ans. $36,25 int. at 5 per cent. 2.

A concise and practical Rule for the State of New York, in which the interest is established by law at 7 per cent. It has been remarked, that 7 per cent. is of 6 per cent.; that is, more than 6 per cent. hence, Q. To find the interest at 7 per cent., what is the RULE? A. Add of the interest, at 6 per cent. (found as before), to itself; the sum will be the interest at 7 per cent. Note. The interest for any rate per cent. may be found in the same manner, by subtracting, when the given rate is under 6 per cent., and adding, when it is more. 1.
