Follow-up Question

This helps ALOT but now I am confused how you got 41.55? if I take 1.055 /9.25 =.11405 which if you move the decimal points gives you 40.5 or 41 but that is not making sense? Sorry this is all new to me

Follow-up Question

I need to fill in the gap here and need this broken down a bit further

Where did the 9.25 come from?

Also, if 6000 x 1.055^n - 1 / .055 should equal 6000 (.055 /.055=1 x 6000). How did you get 1.055^n?
