Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction

Monthly interest refers to the amount of money charged or earned on a financial account, such as a loan or savings account, over the course of one month. It is typically expressed as a percentage of the account balance and is calculated on a monthly basis.

For loans or credit cards, monthly interest represents the cost of borrowing money, and it accumulates on any outstanding balance that has not been paid off.
