Your method checks to give a difference of $320

my answer...3253.20 and 3246.8 gives a difference of 3.2

(I have a .xls file to prove it, if you'd like)

Remember you are working with percents

Ooh. Point. Let me check again.

Yup. You're right, I e-powned myself on JHS math. What's me EE degree going to me worth now? 😱

This is why Comp Sci > Elect Eng 😉 j/k

The difference in the interest is $3.20. The difference in the principles is unknown. You forgot to use percents in your second equation (or you forgot to multiply the RHS by 100).
