Ahmed has decided to go on a trip this summer and he will need money for travel expenses for May, June and July of this year. He will need the money at the end of each of these 3 months. He will borrow these monthly amounts from his savings account and then repay money into the account with monthly payments at the end of the following 9 months: August, September, October, November, December, January, February, March, and April. The account has an interest rate of 0.15% per month, compounded monthly. How much can he spend at the end of each of the 3 months of this summer vacation if he will deposit $538.99 per month for the following 9 months?
Assume that he will withdraw a uniform amount from this account at the end of May, June, and July (3 months) of this summer. He will then deposit $538.99 per month at the end of August, September, October, November, December, January, February, March, and April (9 months).
Can't get the right answer for this, I've tried everything. Any help would be great, thanks.

whatve you tried so far? it should be pretty easy to calculate how much he'll have deposited/gained interested on over the course of the 9 months with a financial calculator. then just dividing that amount by 3.
i may be wrong i dunno. |

at 0.15%, I'd say you can just ignore the interest. If this is a homework problem, oh well :> |

I think he can spend somewhere between 250-300$, he has to save some money for the next months aswell.
Cos if he runs out of $ nobody will borrow to a guy called Ahmed, nobody. |

| Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds that Darkness is always there first, waiting for it. | |

Why would you keep attempting AFTER you got the answer? |
