Performing basic arithmetic calculations

We need to add actions to enable the bot to calculate Monthly Payment. We know the formula is (Amount + Interest)/ (Years x 12).

We have all the values needed to perform this calculation already assigned to variables. For your bot to calculate this, perform the following steps:

  1. Drag the Number: Assign action just below line 13, ensuring it is within the Loop action on line 7.
  2. Set the following properties for the Number: Assign action on line 14:

    Select the source string variable/value: ($numAmount$ + $numInterest$)/(12 * $numYears$)

    Select the destination number variable: numMonthly - Number

    The action properties dialog should look like this:

  3. Click on Save.

We are near the end now; you're doing really well! The next step is to write the results to the output CSV file we created earlier.
