Bobby was desperate. He borrowed $600 from a pawn shop and understood he was to repay the loan starting next month with $100, increasing by $10 per month for a total of 8 months. Actually, he misunderstood. The repayments increased by 10% each month after starting next month at $100. Use a spreadsheet to calculate the monthly interest rate that he thought he was to pay, and what he actually will pay.
