Hi I'm learning Java and I need help with the Loan Calculator

Question

I just finished up to the end of do while loops, however, I can't seem to get the answer to the loan calculator question. You pay 10% of the remainder of the loan each month, for six months.
This is my code:
import java.util.Scanner;

public class Program
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
int amount = scanner.nextInt();
//your code goes here

int month = 0;
while (month<6) {

double remainder = amount - (0.1*amount);

month++;

}
System.out.println(remainder);
}
}

I've seen other examples use some kind of math ceil thing? But I haven't learned that so is there another way to do it?

Answer 1

Use 90% for 6 months to find the balance.

If you are paying 10% every month, one way is to find the 10% and then use your total minus the 10% paid to get the balance.

The other way, is to find the 90% so you don't have to minus.

If you have 100 and you paid 10%,
Method 1: 100 - (100 * 10%) = 90
Method 2: 100 * 90% = 90

The "i=0" is used for looping. It will loop from 0 until 5 (< 6), which is 6 times.

Finally prints out amount.
