In each problem, (1) compute the actual exact interest (365-day year) and (2) estimate the interest by rounding the principal to the nearest hundred dollars. For each estimate, assume that a year has 360 days and use the given suggestion to create a shortcut.
Exact Interest
Interest calculated based on a 365-day year, used to provide a precise interest computation.
360-Day Year
