I'll just guess at the numbers of days involved. You can find out exactly and adjust the expression.

(x(1+.10/360)^20 - 600)(1+.10/360)^108 = 8900
x = 9185.83
RM8,900 = [ X (1+0.1/360)^19 - RM600](1+0.1/360)^140
RM8,900/(1+0.1/360)^140 = X (1+0.1/360)^19 - RM600
RM8560.58 + RM600 = X (1+0.1/360)^19
RM9160.58 = X (1+0.1/360)^19
RM9160.58/(1+0.1/360)^19 = X
RM9112.36 = X

Therefore, X is RM9112.36#
