(0.034 * 24,000) / 12 = ?

3.4% interest is for a year. You need to divide the year's interest by 12 to find the monthly interest.

Ms Sue,
I am not a student, just trying to find out this answer for personal reasons. Thanks for your help. I thing I multiply 3.4 time 24000 divided by 12 which is about 600 per month....right

Nope. Sorry.
You need to convert 3.4% to a decimal by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.
3.4% = 0.034
0.034 times $24,000 = your yearly interest
To find how much you'd get a month, divide your yearly interest by 12.
What do you get now?

You're right. :-)
So you'd get $68 each month.
