Wait, are you looking for 2800 as the total, or the interest earned?

Original Formula
Interest = (Principle amount)(rate)(time)
Insert Variables
2800 = (P)(0.04)(3.5)
divide by time and rate
2800/3.5/0.04 = P
Get Principle amount
20000 = P[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Lol, I had that same answer before I posted. But then I thought back and realized that if you needed help, it must be hard. I guess not.
