I think the answer might be around 2.81 months, but I need to double-check my formulas for the monthly compounding part.

I think I recall that increasing payments can significantly reduce the loan term, but I’m a bit confused about how to apply the compounding interest here.

I remember we practiced a similar question about loan repayments, but I’m not sure how to calculate the exact time reduction with the extra payment.
