Dear Rob. Thank you for adding a comment. If all profits are used to pay it off, then the answer is 7 months. If the last profit is used to pay it off, then the answer is 94 months.

Dear jay. Thank you for adding information. We agree with your arguments. Formulae 7876*(1+1.02+1.02^2+1.02^3+1.02^4+1.02^5+1.02^6)=58552.42 and 7876*(1+1.02+1.02^2+1.02^3+1.02^4+1.02^5)=49682.76 show that at least 7 months are needed, if we start in March, then pay off will be in September.

Dear learnbasicmath. Is January available in your multiple-choice list? If the current month is March, then 3+94=97=12*8+1, so it will be the first month, that is January.

What are you talking about, it's correct. This is a practice question on a lot of standardized test prep. February is not even on the answer choices.

The correct answer is 7 months from March, which would be August.
