Finance buttons
Finance buttons enable you to find an unknown variable value based 
on a group of known variable values.
For example, to calculate the monthly payment for a 30-year home 
loan of $100,000 with an annual interest rate of 8%, you would enter 
the following variables:
nPayments/year = 12
nN = 360 (30 years x 12 months)
nAPR = 8
nPV = 100,000
nFV = 0
Using these variables, the answer would be -733.76 per month.
To solve this example:
1. Enter a value and then tap the...
